Stop Glorifying Not tapping In MMA!

It's okay to TAP!

You talk about Conor Mcgregor vs Khabib Nurmagomedov, What do you hear people say? He's chicken for tapping out. Now, I understand that it's just a comic saying, I would probably say the same in the future for fun. But, there are many people out there who would say the same seriously and for real, that's not good.
It's high time we stop glorifying not tapping and being undefeated in a combat sport. Going inside the octagon itself proves one's worth.

Muhammed Mokaev vs Jafel Filho

We have just witnessed an instance in UFC 286 where Mokaev refused to tap into a career-ending knee bar that Jafel pulled on him. It is so devastating that it shattered the knee of Mokaev but he pulls himself up and submitted within seconds after that. The adrenaline rushes to the roof when you witness that but at what cost? Is it really worth it?

Mokaev said he would never tap even if it is career-ending submission. He got the heart of a lion and no disrespect but he is obviously just 22 years old. I'm pretty sure he would feel different if something like this indeed ended his career and he is 30 years old. 

I hope at least the fans would stop glorifying not tapping out. It's okay to tap people!
