GnP is Ground and Pound and in itself is not a stoppage, although someone may be TKO'd due to GnP. Yes, you can be tapped out due to a submission.

Not at all man. I'm pretty annoying myself. Just look at some of the replies I get on here. TKO can be many things but yes if you think it's going to be by GnP that would be a TKO. It can also be an injury, getting choked unconscious, etc. TKO is pretty much anything except a sub (when someone taps) or an actual knockout.

Oh and I forgot to mention that Sportsbook.com does have Vera vs Mir listed for UFC 66 but I haven't seen anything official on that yet. UFC.com still has Vera and Mir on the 65 card.

GSPALLTHEWAY · 11-14-2006, 08:08 PM

what is submission due to strikes considered? still a sub? lol sorry if thats a dumb question never have known that though

It appears to be a mistake. The other bookie that had it on 66 changed it back again.

I'll just go by whatever the official ruling is. I still think that is a weird gray area. If they say submission due to strikes I'll count it as a sub. But like when Horn was TKO'd by Chuck I thought that should have been a verbal submission.

GSPALLTHEWAY · 11-14-2006, 08:20 PM

yea lol definently a grey area... i seem to remember it being ruled both ways so who knows, oh well just curious

Bomber · 11-14-2006, 08:30 PM

To me a submission means the fighter gave up (gave in). So in my definition a verbal tap out or a tap out due to strikes would be submitting (giving up). As opposed to a TKO where the referee makes the decision.

Either verbal Tapout or a TKO

A lot of time people don't realize that the fighter in trouble will yell out stop when they can't tapout for some reason (like getting pummeled).

well done.

i was forced top bet on guys that i have never heard of, so maybe, just maybe, i will get lucky (the sun shines on a dog's ass at least once in a while i am sure), but i suspect not.

i will be however, be putting 1/2 of all my points on monson. so i may learn a HW lesson too.

today is tuesday, saturday is only 4 days away, when will the betting for 65 open up anyway?

Pitbull · 11-14-2006, 09:28 PM

Just out of curiosity, who won the last contest?
