Filho needed probably 2 more seconds to break that arm. It takes longer to choke someone out than it does to break someone's arm.. thats why u see fighters tap much later in chokes. I've seen referees stop fights in the past even when the fighter didnt tap and i think its legit bcuz it takes a couple secs to break that arm... a good example is the din thomas fight again jeremy stephens.
and yea maybe filho didnt look that great in most of the fight but how could he? he got rocked really bad from that slam and i truly believe he was out for a couple seconds. He kept his composure really well, survived and still locked in that armbar. It's very tough to come back once u got rocked
personally i was more disappointed with filho in his match with doerkson. Doerkson was doing everything so well, the only thing is that he got rocked with the leather at one point and after a few shots he was out.
