Not my screenshot btw. Just wanted to share it for discussion. Is it up to Curtis opponents to stop him from doing his thing with the wrestling or is he the one who should be more active?

Up to his opponents to stop him and the ref to be more liberal with breaks/stand-ups if not busy enough.

One thing I will say tho is without fans you can hear the cage and floor shots so much better and judge pitter-patter vs a solid smack.
 
I don't understand why certain guys like GSP and Khabib get applauded while others get shit on for basically the same gameplans.
Yeah Khabib wasn't finishing fights in the UFC for the first half of his career. Minimal GnP and sub attempts. He was way more of a position guy. Then he came back after that long lay off with some ruthless GNP and a nasty squeeze game.

Fans were hugging his nuts when he was boring too.
 
I do think some people are overly tough on Wrestlers.

It's up to their opponent to not allow them to be "boring".

Look at Usman vs Colby and Burns ... fun fights because those guys won't let Usman just control them.

If you can't stop them, that's the opponent's problem.

TBF they both have their detractors.

GSP was shit on for boring decisions. Khabib's style also become a lot more action packed as he entered his prime, and was prone to just holding and wrestling earlier on [he again had detractors].
