Babalu held the choke 2 seconds long, real time

I just watched the Babalu/Heath fight on UFC On Demand. He only held the choke for 2 seconds after Mazagati touched him. It was only 3 seconds after the tap. Yes he held it long, but Joss Gross claiming it was at least 5-7 seconds after the tap is just wrong. It was no worse than BJ Penn holding onto his choke on Pulver in their last fight.

what babalu did was wrong but i think everyone is exagerating the time he held the choke, i just watched it and it wasnt that long.

Yeh it was 3-4 secs after he tapped. No need to exaggerate with 5-7 secs.

agreed, it wasnt that bad, ive seen worse. Babalu is baddass, he was all covered in blood, that was awesome.

Doesn't matter how long he held it after he tapped, it's how long he held it after Mazzagatti was trying to pull him off which was no more than 2-3 seconds.

4 seconds after someone taps is a long time, especially when your the one being choked.
