Not going to insta to watch that, but it better include these clips.
Exactly. He pulled a cheap move and hope by god Yan threw an illegal knee. Aljo got lucky and Yan did fuck up lolLame take from a guy who pulled this bullshit to win a title.

Idk dude maybe try and pass their guard if they sit.
You’re supposed to be this really good top position grappler and AFAIK they normally don’t allow heel hooks and really don’t allow much other leg attacks other than straight ankle locks when they ufc guys grapple at fury so he shouldn’t be too worried about getting into a leg entanglement
butt scooting isnt really that big of a problem depending on rule set. ADCC, fight pass invitational, EBI etc
TLDR: Sterling has shit guard passing when it comes to pure grappling and complained about it
Butt scooting is lame af but there’s already a proven effective strategy to counter it. Just don’t play their game. Make the ref tell them to get up. idk what Aljimain is on but probably has to do with his new diet.The problem isn't guard passing skills, it's people abusing a rule set to negate an entire part of the sport.
Guard is way more rewarding that top position in modern sports BJJ. If you immediately sit down in all of your matches then you can focus on only training guard 100% of the time and game the system
Plus it's supposed to be a combat sport, I know it has deviated from that but butt scooting makes BJJ look like that Olympic karate that disqualified someone for hitting too hard
You'll probably flame me anyway but here I said it
but the Franklin one knee gameplan never failsI don’t know why but I thought he was grappling chase hooper
but yeah, I know obviously it’s not real fighting, but immediately sitting down in a real fight gets your head stomped on, they should emphasise takedowns more
No I wouldn't flame you for what you said because to a certain extent I can agree with you. I think the problem specifically in this match was sterling just didn't have an answer to what he was seeing and got frustrated. I do disagree with guard being more rewarding in no gi especially when the ruleset bans heel hooks, and other "twisting leg locks" that really neuters a lot of the stuff a modern no gi guy has.The problem isn't guard passing skills, it's people abusing a rule set to negate an entire part of the sport.

Tons of people at the top of the sport prefer top position like nicky rod, mason fowler etc
Maybe if it wasn't sterling doing the complaining after he was pretty passive trying to pass. He was pretty content to just sit in a really lose half guard and talk to the crowd
Aljo should have went with the tried and true Shutdown Schaubjj technique.

No major No gi tourney's ban them that I know of unless it's in the kids and beginners div. Fury doesn't except when UFC guys are competing.Fair enough.
correct me if I'm wrong because I'm not really a grappling guy and like to follow the sport from afar but are there even major no gi tournaments that ban leg locks ?
From what I could gather they're sometimes banned in the gi format but they're all the rage in no gi.
I like the ADCC ruleset btw, at least when someone doesn't want to fight for a takedown he has to concede a point.
