fuck this point fighter.. OUUUUU You can't pass my guard. Yeah but without that gi, in MMA or in a street fight you'd eat knuckle sandwiches.. I like guys like marcelo, jacare, Garry Tonon, and other guys that are out there to finish.
Street fight? Seriously? You think a black belt world champ would lose to randoms on the street because he plays spider guard in jiu Jitsu tournaments? Do you even train?
John Hanson but that wasn't the point i was making. The point I was making was this is what BJJ has turn into.. "WHO CAN PASS MY GUARD," as opposed to what is the most effective and safest position for me to win and finish as fight.
The rules really dictate how the guys are going to compete. The fact that there is no penalty for pulling guard or advantage for maintaining top position is a debate I have to admit. But that's why they have all these other new formats and big competitions on the scene now. Jiu Jitsu is still one of the most dominant forces in MMA... Some of the best mma fighters are wrestlers transformed into submission grapplers
