Yup, but in general, good things come from face punching while grappling.

stop the fucking fight, cornerman, your dude is fucking done and is about to be killed.

Count Roland posted:

You don't need a stable position. Say when a guy was turtled with opponent on top. Yes you can hang on for the choke, or you could punch to the side of the head. No hooks were in, so you could think of a knee to the body as well. You obviously risk losing control, but forcing your opponent to think about and defend strikes is well worth it.

i see what you're trying to say, and if you're not good at jiu jitsu, sure, but rosa was very good at jiu jitsu and what he was doing was making soriano poo poo his pants much more than some arm slaps to the head

Without a stable position Rosa's strikes would have sacrificed the control he was using to put Soriano in danger for pussycat punches that could easily be ignored.

You know, here's the reason I was a little leary when TSN picked up the Canadian UFC TV rights from Sportsnet - at least Sportsnet used one of their six or so feeds to play the preliminaries. TSN? Nope. Gotta have three channels showing curling and one showing old boxing fights. Just lame - and I'm usually one to defend TSN. Not this time.

Nah. The days of pure BJJ are done. Being good at BJJ is still really good and important, but gnp became ubiquitous for a reason.

e: Rogan talking how good offensive guards are so rare. They used to be common, but they got punched in the face too much, along with the usual passing.

conor has one n. because the other n was taken out of his name for 'n'otorious. this is a fact.

houlohan escaped from a north korean concentration camp for this fight. he's still going to win though because of conor mcgregor.

nick diaz swam back from alcatraz. just think about that for a second.

Maybe Rogan wasn't watching the monitors but in no way did Howell look like he was about to tap or pass out from the angle we got.

watching flyweights is the same as watching boxing heavyweights. you might be enjoying it, but in the back of your mind your're rating them on a scale as how bad they'd get annihilated by the champion
