Minotauro Noguiera... STILL stupid for not tapping

Minotauro: My Arm Surgery

After watching this interview, I'm convinced EVEN MORE that he is sending the wrong message and did a stupid thing by not taping to Frank Mir.
He just doesn't want to admit he got caught and that Frank had him in a position from which he could not escape.

But because he's the "great Minotauro noguiera" that means "there is no honor in tapping."

What do they say about 'pride before the fall?'

If you don't believe me, fast forward that to 2:20 and see the scar on his arm, and know that he was in worlds more pain because the broken bone was pinching against his nerve.
Think about THAT the next time you know you're caught in an arm lock and there is no getting out.

Well . . . I certainly don't agree but that's his prerogative.

I can't judge the man. I mean, I train at Renzo's . . .

I read this as "taping"

I was confused until I finally saw tapping.
