Amir Sadollah Submits C.B. Dollaway, Wins The Ultimate Fighter

Was that a legit tap? I don't think so he only tapped his hand one time the ref jumped in a bit too early

CB did not tap out in that fight bad call. If you look at the video he was trying to grip his own glove. His hand slips off hits the ref's arm and bounces back. BAD call.

Dollaway taps then tries to say he didn't! I just think he can't handle the fact that somebody who he thinks he is better than has defeated him twice in the same way. He better learn how to defend that or it is going to be a short career for him.

Slipped off his glove?!?! Whatever. CB did what most of us do in training...he started to tap the minute he felt the armbar go on. Amir owned that arm and if he had "bad intentions" could've broken it off and taken it home as his TUF7 trophy if he'd wanted. Maybe CB didn't INTEND to tap, but he tapped. As for the ref, it's his job is to be on top of the action so the fighters don't get permanently injured. We don't need any Jacare reinactments. CB will get his fights (c'mon, ALL these guys seem to get their UFC fights whether they win the show or not!)and probably a rematch in the future if he wins a couple. Personally I still think Amir will take him. He doesn't brag, he doesn't talk sh*t, he goes to work, listens to his corner, and does textbook techniques. Stop whining and enjoy his fights.

Amir had above average fighting skills, but where he excelled was that he was just physically and mentally tougher than his opponents. Plus, he seems like he might be a little smarter than the other participants. He's losing, he's losing, he's losing, he wins. Why? He's a tough guy with a superior mind.

that armbar was locked in tight so the ref stopping it on one tap is okay with me i bet CB is greatful cuz he didnt wanna be submitted the same way and faster in the rematch but at least he still as usage of his arm it could be some serious damage to the ligaments

i think they made the right call whether he tapped or not.it was going to be controversial either way. cb has talent, i think him losing will be better for him. it will change his attitude and only drive him to be better. word to ya mother

CB is a good fighter, but is an obvious punk ass. he's acted like he's a ufc legend before being in the ufc. im stoked amir won he surprised throughout the show with his performance. although when i found out he was a sambo black belt i realized his submissions were not lucky but skill, and that he would probably submit cb again. cb showed no submission defense during show. and was sketch to go to the mat with tim. SCREW CB! GO FORREST!

He tapped once. He couldn't believe it himself, but he tapped. Herb Dean is an excellent ref who did his job. Great wrestlers become great mma competitiors when they learn good standup striking AND good submissions/submission defense. The sport has come far enough now where you need to have all the tools to survive and be competitive.

Whether or not CB intended to tap out, when CB moved his hand and quit protecting against the arm-bar, Amir had him. Amir is able to take a pounding and he takes advantage of opportunities when they present themselves. Amir just rocks, man, without question.

CB tapped just like Kimbo tapped a few weeks ago. This time though the referee (Herb Dean) wasn't instructed to make sure the outcome was what the network wanted. Point blank, Kimbo's fight was fixed!!

I think Rogan was right when he said that Dalloway tapped before he realized what he was doing; he had practiced tapping quick in sparring to avoid injury and it cost him the match when he lost track of the fact he was in a real fight. he's kinda immature at 24(?). I agree he'll be back, and better for losing a couple.

Amir is a helluva good fighter, and very intelligent. I was glad to see him win.

Amir will be around the UFC for some time. He's got what it takes to win, and more importantly he's a crowd favorite. As for CB, I wouldn't be surprised if he slips away into obscurity. The man is so arrogant and doesn’t have the toughness or skill to back it up. Not to mention he has no class. I wouldn’t be surprised if we start hearing excuses come from the Dollaway camp in the next few days.

Just got a chance to read this. I trully don't think CB realized he tapped until the replay. Not taking anything away from Amir. He is an awsome fighter too! CB will be back. He's a fighter with heart. Go CB!!!
