Joseph Kropschot on DWCS graphic armbar injury: ‘I cannot believe he didn’t tap’

Joseph Kropschot can’t believe his opponent refused to tap to his submission attempt on Dana White’s Contender Series.

Kropschot kicked off the DWCS 2026 Week 1 action in a middleweight clash against Jonathan Kunneman. He maintained higher output while his opponent desperately looked for a Hail Mary overhand right. Kropschot also locked in an armbar in the final seconds of the fight that looked deep enough to secure a finish.

Joseph Kropschot revisits ‘gross’ injury to opponent on DWCS

Kunneman, perhaps too tough for his own good, refused to tap. Kropschot eventually dislocated Kunneman’s arm before walking away with a unanimous decision win. The victor subsequently said that he can’t believe his opponent didn’t tap to the armbar.

“I cannot believe he didn’t tap,” Kropschot said in his post-fight interview. “That bent like at the right angle. Gross.”

Kropschot (9-3) was on a four-fight finishing streak going into his DWCS opportunity, where he earned an Ultimate Fighting Championship contract for his performance. Meanwhile, Kunneman (10-1) suffered his first professional loss.
