I cannot say with certainty whether that was a dive or not (neither, I believe, can anyone here), but what I can say is that that left jab did appear to really rock Shamrock.
It's not like he pulled a Bo Cantrell on us...he was clearly hurt from not only that left jab but the entire standing exchanges, which already formed a pretty bad knot under his right eye. Maybe at that point he was, in fact, looking for a way out or maybe he was truly dazed and out of it...very difficult to judge by watching it, and certainly that initial GIF that was posted is only a very small part of (and I'd argue not even the main part of) the picture.
