I finally got to see the Overeem/Arona fight at the weekend and I dont understand where the confusion over Overeem tapping came from....Mauro said he thought it was due to the punishing leg kick that Arona threw (obviously wasnt) and Frank said his friend sitting ringside said it was due to the body triangle.

Ive watched the ending several times now and Im sure it was due to a punch in the eye that caused Allistair to tap. You can see when Arona's on his back he throws 2 or 3 rights and then a big left that goes under Allistairs arm and connects with the left side of his face (most likely his eye). Its immediately after this that Overeem taps, he even reaches for his eye when he stands up.
