You're supposed to CONTROL the opponent and give him time to submit, Not trying to rip his arm off until the ref steps in.

Kind of goes with the uniform. There is no need or reason to inflict serious trauma. It's a game. I can understand wanting to get the submission, being a little excited in the heat of the moment but he tweaked that guys arm on purpose. His humility display at the end was apologetic... He did wrong. He knows it. Does he boast of it too?
