Holy poo poo that english dude is amazing.

Also laying on top of a dude should not reward you points, because its boring as poo poo and i'm paying money to watch this.


Haha this english dude "That's gotta be a bonus!"

i mean that arguing that the guy on top can just lay on his opponent because "he might be swept" is not conducive to the goal of an MMA fight, two guys fighting each other to see who is a better fighter

Generally I agree with you. I'm in favour of standups when top guy is inactive and bottom guy isn't doing anything either. It's not as if you can wear a good athlete out by sitting mostly still in his guard, so it serves little obvious strategic value. What I tend to waffle on is a) what the threshold is for "top activity", and b) what do you do when the bottom guy is active and the top guy is inactive (though "b" is more of a judging issue...).

I'm pretty sure I agree with you? I was saying that's why putting the onus on the bottom guy is dumb, if the top guy wants to just sit there he can and there's really nothing you can do to stop him without standups.

I'll reiterate that if you are on the bottom and can't generate offense, that is your fault. If you disagree with that then watch kickboxing.

I've been doing BJJ off and on for ten years. If someone takes another fighter down and keeps them there that fighter is better at fighting. He should not be punished for being better.
