I like the BJJ exchanges ok, but they'd be way cooler and more effective with punches thrown in as well.

Rosa and Soriano never really stopped moving on the ground I don't see how you could land any GNP

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.

Looked like a legit FedorTap to me. He'd lost the fight anyway.

What tap is this?

But Rosa got the tap, he didn't need GNP

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

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

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.
