Dominic Mejia vs Owen Jones | Tezos WNO 21: Pedro Marinho vs Rafael Lovato Jr 

Lol at Nicky pleading with Owen to come on top

I’m loving that FLO is releasing these matches after the events ! Y’all are the best

"I'm gonna pull guard and sit there for 10mins"

I love the articles Owen writes for the Guardian !

It would have been cool to see Owen take top and try to pass.

How’s it okay for Flo to constantly lose sound?

We got to see a lot of quit from Owen in this match. He can try to blame Dom if he wants, but his own actions aren't pushing for position or attacks.

Never thought Id see the day Flo put on a women vs. Man match

this match make me over thinking: for Owen as bottom player the obvious goal of him is trying to get submission. he shouldnt bother with sweeping his opponent. if u paying attention to Owen corner u guys gonna hear that Demian told Owen to go on top to convince judges that he doing a sweep. in IBJJF rule set u will get 2 points for sweeping. sweep means if u start ur position on bottom, u need to put ur opponent on his back and at the same time you need to stand up. if u end up forcing your opponent to fall on his back but u still lying on the mat, u only get 1 advantage. 1 advantage is given to u as a reward for attempting the sweep. so this advantage point is a bait for athletes to progress the game. I know this match has a different rule set, but we & the judges came from BJJ, which creates a bias that can influence to judge decision. come back to Owen, with why attempting leg submission is the best strategy. because every time ur doing footlock there is a high percentage that u force your opponent put their back/butt on the mat. so judges gonna see the sweeping attempt and submission attempt (u also get an advantage in IBJJF rules if u attempt a very convincing submission). let's move to Mejia. we know that Mejia failed to pass Owen's guard, and of course Owen also failed to sweep Mejia. but we can see that several times Mejia succeeded in passing Owen's leg (which led to an advantage point in IBJJF rules) and also had a moment to attempt foot lock from the top. so what is the best strategy for Mejia to win this match? should he pull the footlock from top? unfortunately footlock from top doesn't give u an advantage for passing guard, because there is no direct scenario to passing attempt while doing footlock from top.for me the best startegy is also sitting on your butt and attacking leg lock from there. MY FINAL CONCLUSION IS MEJIA HELPED OWEN WIN THE MATCH BY VOLUNTARILY PASSING OWEN GUARD. imagine if Mejia also sat on his butt from beginning, and start attacking leglock from there. i think we're gonna see a very close match and give the judges a very hard time to decide. no sweep attempt and no wasting energy trying to pass the guard enough about this match, how about the future of grappling or jiu-jitsu match. I think we gonna end up with a boring match, nobody trains their takedown, and no one cares about upper body submission. that's why it's important to improve our rules to force the athlete do a propper grappling or jiu-jitsu match. FU ALL

why not just start with the fight

As an experienced White Belt, how does the guy on the bottom/defending 90% of this match win in the judges eyes? Whats the point in going for subs if you can win by stalling? Wild sport.

Flograppling < ufc fight pass

How didn’t Dominic win?

Matches like these are everything that is wrong with jiujitsu

If that was a UD to Jones, change the rules. All other things being equal, if you maintain top position for 90% of the match, you win, I don't care if the other guy chooses to play bottom.

The blond kid laying on his back the entire match. There has to be some sort of penalty for the guys that only play leg game. Boring AF even if you do know what’s technically going on

Owen boring Jones

Boooooo
