Do you get a rush from this?

I just got back from a fight at my gym. I got my opponent in a RNC and he wouldn't submit so I squeezed harder until he finally tapped. Ive been in many fights where I made my opponent tapout and each time I get a bit of a rush just from knowing that I'm doing damage and I was the more dominant fighter. Idk it's weird, I can't explain it. MMA is a sport just like any other sport but when that happens I get pumped up. Does anyone else get that feeling?
