      That's what UFC misses sometimes, proper high level jiu jitsu. It's exciting shit. Most of the grapping exchanges are wrestling exchanges. But at the same time, maybe guys are just so high level these days that it's hard to get some good jiu jitsu popping off

      @monkeyboy275bobo8 2 роки тому +7

      @@DoyleSnortsShit I mean we saw what happened. That guillotine was as good as it gets, infact it was pretty scary how fast Brian transitioned from knocking him down to sinking in that submission. And still it wasnt enough and he ended up exhausted on the receiving end of some hard ground and pound. And he put years into these skills. The problem is people got too good in defending groundgame at least on the highest level. I cant think of any champion right now that you could just take down and keep there to use bjj.
      So thats probably why fighter mostly focus on ground and pound instead of bjj.

      I wish there was an audio option to turn off only commentary because I still wanna hear the impact of the strikes etc but the commentary really can sway how you view things. Also wish there was a way to stop the unofficial stats from showing cos they're all over the place too. It'd be fine if the unofficial stats were always close to correct or at least consistantly way off. But sometimes they're bang on, sometimes they're no where near and it makes it impossible to judge anything with them as a basis.

    He looked phenomenal tonight. No wonder he's a great champ. Still can't wait for the Holloway rematch

      so crazy to think about people are saying rematch even though alex beat him twice. i get the decisions were close and could have gone either way but its weird cuz its not even a rematch at this point lol

      @@erich1380 Are you trying to express that most people that follow mma a casuals and don't know that Volk and Holloway fought twice already...or are u basically saying ur a pedantic, nitpicky ass when it comes to word choice? But what's funny is that ur not even right. Rematch technically means a second match, but "trilogize" doesn't quite exist as a verb yet, does it? So what are people supposed to say? They are technically RE matching, as in matching again, therefore it'll be a rematch even when they've fought 10 times.
