Why is Peterson so eager to stop the fight RIGHT as there’s a tap? I mean he doesn’t hesitate to let fighters receive follow up shots until they nearly die, but God forbid someone gets choked two seconds extra? Super bad
Getting punched in the head after being rocked/concussed is super bad, that’s pure brain damage right there. Being choked a few seconds extra I’ve never came across as causing brain damage, it’s now way near the minutes needed for that
"During a strangulation assault, the pressure applied to the neck impedes oxygen transport by preventing blood flow to and from the brain. The trachea can also be restricted, making breathing difficult or impossible. The combination can quickly cause asphyxia and unconsciousness, which can lead to brain injury even without loss of consciousness or those lasting mere seconds.

I think he did the right thing. Getting punched once or twice more isn’t the same as the brain being denied oxygen for a few more seconds.
