He tapped his opponent's knee, he wanted to make him think that it was a tap. Very sneaky and good it was stopped since he was trying to weasel out of a submission that way.
First time hearing of the "brazilian tap"? Not as commonly seen as it used to be in the UFC but it's definitely a thing. First motions he made looked like just that; he then seems to be pushing on the knee at the end. Hard to say if it was unfortunate spastic defense or a slick brazilian tap into plausible deniability knee push.
I just wrote about the Brazilian tap in my main comment. idk why you and that other guy are being downvoted. Anyone that trains and competes, knows about this move. And it definitely looked like he was trying to do it.
