'TUF 14' cast member Akira Corassani: 'If I tapped, my knee wouldn't even be stable'

Akira Corassani has been waiting for this moment since the day he left the house as a cast member of "The Ultimate Fighter 14." The Twitter messages, the traffic to his website, the message board postings - all of it.

As he predicted, his fight with Dustin Neace in the quarterfinals of the reality show competition has caused a stir. Fans say he tapped to Neace's heel hook in the first round. The tape tells the tale.

"Did I think of tapping? Hell yeah, I thought of tapping," Corassani today told MMAjunkie.com. "If you look at it - hundreds and hundreds of times I looked at it - when he's going to crank it (and) take it, my heel pops out, and he misses."
