Bustamante vs. Lindland

UFC 37 ·

Middleweight Championship

For the UFC Middleweight Championship. Bustamante had Lindland in an armbar early in the fight, then released it after what seemed to be a tap, followed by a shout to stop the action by John McCarthy. Lindland claimed it wasn't a tap, which controversially led McCarthy to restart the fight. This has led to the contest being known as the infamous "double tap" fight.
