He was, but he just strolled over without any urgency after Akira dropped like a stone and the watched him take about 3 punches while he was clearly out.

No.

I understand that, I'm talking about the concept that if a guy just buries his head in your chest and does nothing it is very difficult to do anything.


Yeah that's cool and all but don't characterize it as "Do you even train (BJJ)?" because he would have won a BJJ match pretty clearly.

They have just been taking an advantage and riding it out, being as safe as possible. I think Nelson might be better at dealing with this kind of pressure and attention but he's also going to be knocked out in Round 2 so there's that.

All I know about this long argument is I really really want to see fights where the ref isn't allowed to call for a standup or break up a clinch for inactivity. Maybe somebody should start a promotion with special rules for that. You could market the PPVs as a natural sleep aid.

Just got home just in time to see Story and Nelson walk out. Has the card been all right?
