IMO, he was in the most dangerous place for an armbar. If he falls or Amir forces him down while in the armbar, CB's weight creates a fulcrum point right at the elbow with each fighter's weight on the ends of his arm......highlight real snappage.
This is probably the only time I've ever backed Herb Dean as he is the worst ref in the game. But he did the right thing. CB started tapping and stopped...too late.

Indeed...If anyone has any doubt just watch how ironic it is that when he starts torqueing the tap comes immediatley,but he released it very fast as well..There is no question in my mind..To act like you didn't tap...Well that's bullshit period..Be a man and take your loss.
