[@spaceghost8886]

Same but to be fair this is specifically for the Grappling championship. Pretty cool of ONE to separate all the grappling from the kickboxing/muay thai and MMA because at least you know what you’re getting so it’s easy to avoid watching it if you don’t like it.

@@Cokey96 every well rounded fighter trains Jiu Jitsu, otherwise when the Jiu Jitsu guy gets a hold of you you’re finished.

They should allow each contestant to start on the bottom. Mikey had the upper hand by laying on his back.

Do people just refuse to undesrand this stance works for Mike is because every fighter knows the only way to have a chance is to be aggressive because if Mike walks up on them in the same stance they have no chance?

[@kennethnoisewater4423]

I wouldn't call this pulling guard, he just dropped into guard. if the other guy did the same then they probably handfight a bit and eventually grab a leg. pulling guard is essentially a reverse takedown, where one drops into guard but pulls the other into it as they drop.

This is a SPORT with rulesets, not a street fight!! Don't like the format?! Bash the organiser or WATCH SOMETHING ELSE! If the rules allows butt scooting or guard pulling then why wouldn't an elite grappler like Mikey, who's VERY comfortable on bottom position, not take advantage of it?!

Mikey is good at BJJ, but it annoys me he calls his matches "fights" when the first thing he does is lay down and spread his legs like my drunk aunt at a christmas party.

[@pokzer2804]

Mikey literally tore someone’s leg in one of his last fights. The only fight that night that resulted in long standing damage, out of other martial arts like Muay Thai and boxing. I’d consider that a fight.

@@pokzer2804 irrelevant. You could get in a car crash and get hurt worse than that. Doesn't mean you were in a fight.

@@littlemister96 That analogy doesn’t make any sense. In the grappling fight, two men fought each other and one man tore the other guy’s knee. Winning the match. It wasn’t some random event or occurrence, Mikey got him in a leg lock and broke his leg. That is real damage purposefully placed. Not some random car crash?
