Great comment. I would add that the defending fighter should also work to reverse the situation. Leaning against the cage is also passive and should be penalized.

[@SireVV]

@@dewalddewet759 My problem with that is: The burden of advancing is on the initiator, not defender. If my TDD caused you to not advance, but your grappling doesn’t allow me to reverse, then we have a stalemate and it should be separated. You can’t give control time for a 50/50 position.

[@dewalddewet759]

@@SireVV Why? The defender aready did not initiate anytything. He did even less.

[@SireVV]

@@dewalddewet759 Because of the scoring, which is objectively striking bias. Defense and control time are scored secondary to EFFECTIVE striking and grappling. If you’re not trying to advance or finish you are stalling by definition and are now grappling point fighting(see grappling sport stalling penalties). By putting the burden on the defender you are asking them to assume all of the risk. Escaping isn’t a reversal, so if you’re winning by the most scoring criteria, why should you have to reverse when by definition your TDD nullified EFFECTIVE grappling?

[@dewalddewet759]

@@SireVV Mmmm. I thought about what you said. It seems circular to me. The most effective way to defend against grappling in MMA is exactly what we see at the moment where defender snuffs out a grappling attack by basically getting in to a position leaning onto the cage and creating a stalemate. They mostly do not positively try to turn defense into offence. I don't know what to make of that. In wrestling the passive wrestler gets put on a shot clock. From a neutral position he has to score within a certain time. If he cannot, the opponent receives a point. This system attempts to eliminate overly defensive wrestling.

​@@scottc2076Evloevs an extreme example. Trying to finish and not getting the finish isnt the same as what Bautista did

[@donttrip9228]

Islam vs volk 1 islam took volks back and volk was being defensive not getting choked so they both just kinda laid there for an entire round and islam won the round. I agree they don't so that as much but they do kinda just take down their opponents and stall if they have to.

[@claws707]

Ankalaev will try to do this to Alex and if he succeeds our sport is fucked.

[@tl3215]

We can pray for a Alex knee🙏

[@botthegamer5813]

Who has ankalaev ever done that to? He’s a striker

[@MrFring.]

The difference is Ankalaev actually does something in the ground

[@UFC_blood4life]

Ankalaev is going to be a Idiot and try to strike with Alex and get merked like every other fighter

Amen😢

How tf can O’Malley say Bautista beat Aldo on DAMAGE?!?! With a straight face too!! 🤣🤣🤯

“I’m consistent with how I score fights” please tell me how you think DDP beat Strickland if you truly believe in damage based scoring?

[@GetArkd]

Tim Welches explanation of Marios gameplan sounded like what my game plan would be if i was challenged to fight Nnganou as a gameshow contest. Just hold and pray lol

[@Starvin_Marvin138]

The definition of insanity is Mario Bautista's strategy. Trying the same thing over and over and expecting a different result.

[@therainman7777]

Except it worked, so he did get the result he wanted.

[@wigetywogety9020]

the whole storyline for this fight was redeeming the way the merab fight went and bautista didnt think to at least let the ufc know not to advertise the fight that way. goes to show how manufactured ufc storylines are now

[@BobbyMully]

"God look at the state of me in this interview. Gotta keep it up in the gym" looking like it was Guru the day before 😂

[@nagchumpalot]

Guru is glazing himself hard in this one.. 😂 He’s so happy with himself🎉

[@__M738]

The real question is What did Schmitty think ?

[@coffeeortea547]

Holding someone against the cage is one thing. There's no advantage being created so your point makes sense that holding someone against a cage shouldn't be rewarded in scoring. Equating that to a locked in body triangle is taking it very far, especially since Makhachev was actively trying to switch arms and fight hands to get to Volk's neck. When he looked at the clock he was more likely wondering if it was worth risking a switch to armbar. If a body triangle has no scoring value as effective grappling unless there's damage caused, then by that standard Rd1 of Edwards vs Usman 2 goes to Marty and Rd1 of Pereira vs Blachowicz to Alex. I'm all for encouraging active grappling, the way Charles and Moicano do it. I'm all for allowing knees to punish reckless shots. But if you're going that far to devalue grappling that you'd score pitter patter backwards punches with 0 leverage over a body triangle, then you really may as well go watch kickboxing.

[@Daniel-jv2tj]

Well said

[@buddybaldur768]

The Dagastanis created this style and aljo and merab just took it to another level

[@therainman7777]

Not really. Khabib and Islam never fought like this. They took people down and then hit them with serious ground and pound, or submissions.

[@Kgopani3101]

Tf is Dana gonna do? The rules are decided by the athletic state commissions, he has tried to remove the 12-6 rule for sooo long and only now it has been removed, he doesn't own the sport, hell he doesn't even own the company no more, he's just the CEO

[@therainman7777]

I’ve been trying to explain this to people. But they think Dana is the undisputed god of MMA.

[@thewalruswasjason101]

Guru also think DDP beat Strickland because he shot some takedowns ( even though nothing came from them) Strickland out landed DDP and did WAY MORE damage

[@FrenkieWest32]

DDP outstruck Strickland. And acting like ''something came from'' all those lame jabs is hilarious. Or defending strickland in a video about boring styles btw.

[@marcosgueiros5215]

Tanks Guru for defending Aldo's honor, they cant disrespect our legends like that

[@barryoconnor9589]

Aldo is a legend but he's never been able to get off the cage that's on him.

[@ozylocz4078]

Bautista is a bltch, that being said aldo is washed. He’s never gonna be champion again if that’s all he’s got to show. No urgency, stopped mixing it up and strictly boxed… If that’s the “flame” that’s lit inside it isn’t burning very hot at all.

[@anthonydelgrande7476]

Just wanted to say congrats Guru! You are starting really be noticed and remembered. I’ve been watching you since close to the beginning, you are a funny dude and probably the only one on here that can actually call a fight and explain one correctly. Mighty Mouse just gave you a huge shout out! I’m a little older so some of the humor goes over my head but you have great morals and definitely an intelligent cat. Keep up the great work man!

[@MyNnavarro]

They need to allow elbows to the back of the head when the opponent shoots for a takedown so that fights are not boring wrestling matches.

[@SladeRenegade]

Usman's foot stomp technique against Masvidal was op. lol

[@hectorlumbagoCringe]

Outstanding work my friend

[@goyasmind]

Wow, first Nina and now Sean? Talk about a massacre…

[@flameguy3416]

Fighting like Mario Bautista is potentially gonna save UFC fighters. Think about it, the fighters get money but don't get CTE, and the fans get something to sleep to during those miserable nights. Win Win.

[@tylerhealey1506]

to be fair to leon edwards his style isnt boring, its just that leon himself seems to lack that competitive aggression, volk vs max 2, volk was down but just decided to bite down and out dawg max. kai kara vs mereno 2, moreno was getting clipped but just decided to pressure and dawg walk kai, jiri vs alexander, jiri was getting out skilled but just out manned alexander rakic. leon just doesnt seem to have that, its like once he starts to fall behind he just excepts it but when hes winning his striking is fucking clean and for brief moments he shows you what he could be.

[@ekayn1606]

[@MarkSiosal]

Who's that? Genuinely lost.

[@chazparsell5109]

As an American wrestler , when I see people grapple in mma I now cringe , we used to have dc if he got a takedown he’s slamming u punching u choking you , we had Charles and Tony w crazy bjj like make it interesting the whole point of grappling is to inflict damage with control not wet blanket them , these “ if u don’t like it watch kickboxing “ fans have never grappled wrestled or sparred a day in their life and it shows very heavy

[@dubstepXpower]

Yeah grapplers hate that style. That's why Craig Jones got angled walls in CJI to stop stalling.

[@FrenkieWest32]

Tony hardly used bjj in most fights, what on earth are you talking about? And people constantly complain about wrestlers in general, it is crazy you don't know that.

[@MarkSiosal]

You lost me at "American wrestler".😴

[@iam_ismell]

I respect Guru for keeping that same energy with Suga and Tim - a lot of ppl had the impression that bc there is a network/relationship between them that somehow Guru would hold back opinions

[@Jebedia2236]

Legalize knees to grounded opponent will help so much. There’s no consequences for missing a takedown

[@maddesoncoutts2559]

I’d still rather watch Bautista than pena

[@chrishayes5755]

Especially since there's a bounty out on him now, let's see how it plays out

[@mitcheyoaudeeyo6783]

"look at the state of me" looks identical

[@stacks3892]

heres my suggestions for the mma rules: reward takedown defenses stop rewarding clinch control allow kicking/kneeing down opponents

[@nickalexander4431]

And deduct a point from the fighters missing weight to gain an advantage and they will stop missing weight. The fines from their purse doesn't deter them enough

[@magnaortusars3342]

I agree with everything except the last bit. I think that kneeing or kicking a kneeling opponent is fine. However, kneeing or kicking a completely downed opponent is a really bad idea. Allows soccer kicks and all other types of nasty stuff. End of the day, MMA in this form is a sport and lines should be drawn. Allowing the kneeing and kicking of downed opponents leans too far into street rules.

[@FrenkieWest32]

so simply manipulate the rules to try and make strikers win more? Do blocked strikes get rewarded? Checked leg kicks? Dodged strikes? Nice way to get every fight to be Ngannou-Lewis.
