Yeah, I understand. In truth it was not so much as a comment about this particular fight, but rather in general.

Let me give you an example of exactly what I was trying to convey(again done poorly I admit).
When I was living in Olympia I was listening to a morning show on 107.7 The End. They started doing a phone interview with an MMAer named Ed Herman. Now WA is a stand your ground state so legalities in this instance weren't an issue. Anyway Herman, had been attacked/attempted mugging by a guy with a knife. Somehow he disarmed the dude and RNC'd him. So the guy verbally taps. Herman said he just let him go because he thought it was over(this is what I meant by conditioned response). So the guy picks his knife back up and slashes Herman. Herman then wrestles the knife away and RNCs the guy again(getting **** on in the process). Herman having learned his lesson from letting the guy go the first time holds him in the RNC, shouting for help, and telling the dude everytime he wakes up, "If you struggle, I will put you out again." Apparently he choked his attacker out something like 15 times during the altercation. This was more what I was getting at, sorry for not being more specific, and probably posting in the wrong place.
An interesting tidbit, during the interview Herman claimed to have been turned down for TUF 1 or 2, can't remember specifically now. So the hosts somehow get Dana White on the phone and convince him, on-air, to allow Herman into TUF-3.
Anyway I hope this helps clarify where I was comming from. Sorry for being a moron with a thread derail/off-topic post. Next time I promise to start a separate thread so that I am not so mistaken in what I am trying to say. -
