that commercial break managed to make that submission even cooler, despite it already being a bulldog choke and at the last second of the round.

The context is the same. The fighter on top who is defending submissions is grappling more effectively than the person on bottom who is failing submissions.

Well if you don't defend you lose, so defending a submission is self-rewarding. Blocking punches doesn't count as "effective striking". Throwing up subs from the bottom = aggression. If the fighter on the bottom is throwing up subs and the fighter on top is merely defending without offering any kind of offense, the fight should be going to the guy on the bottom.

And the mercy seat is awaiting,
And I think my head is burning,
And in a way I'm yearning,
To be done with all this measuring of proof.
An eye for an eye
And a tooth for a tooth,
And anyway I told the truth,
And I'm not afraid to die.
Raquel can you do that headlock to Sean Hannity? TIA

All of this is irrelevant, there are official rules and they are written down.

I was watching the fights with somebody and I just finished explaining that Rocky isn't particularly good at anything but she has guts, and guts is (usually) enough. It came to the end of the round and I said, "Oh yeah Evans-Smith managed to survive. No, nevermind she's asleep. She's unconscious. That's it."

Guess what those rules say in the most recent revision:

quote:

1.Effective Defense Removed as a criteria:
Effective Defense will no longer be considered a requirement for the following reasons:
1.
The committee believes that offensive actions should be the only criteria used to score MMA matches. Offensive fighters are fighters which carry the fight and push the action, and make the fight happen.
2.
Defense is its own reward. A fighter who chooses to avoid using defensive actions will invariably suffer the consequences. For example if a fighter decides that they do not want to block or avoid a strike, protect themselves from a submission, or avoid a throw or takedown then they will suffer the results of those offensive actions being used against them. The only role defensive action plays is to keep a fighter in the fight longer so that they can attempt to score using offensive actions.
3.
Having two fighters avoid offensive actions and rely solely on defense goes against the basic primary consideration of any combative sport: To score using offense.
