BROWN VS ALVES- Bisping: "height/ reach advantage doesnt matter in the ground"

[Espresso]

As soon as the fight started Brown went off with a front kick, Alvis caught it and threw him to the ground, immediately going into Brown's guard.

Bisping, right away, mentions that height and reach is useless in the ground.

I swear to God, as a pro sherdogger, im thinking, 'thats stupid to say from bisping, how about triangles from the bottom, elbows, and even the boring rubber guard.'

Next round, Alves gets triangled from the bottom while getting his head shaved by elbows.

Lets put a stop to the notion that "height/ reach advantage in the ground is useless"

But when you think of all the top ground guys none of them have it? It’s because long limbs are less muscular and easier to submit

Does it have advantages? yes it does, so its not useless. Point of the thread.

It also has a disadvantage. You can reach and grip things other people can’t, but you also have a harder time pulling out of subs, and limbs are scrawnier. It’s why you don’t see a lot of tall lanky guys in bjj
