This is how sports work. If anyone actually watched wrestling, they would notice that it generally looks nothing like its MMA application either. You see guys tangled up in funk rolls waiting for the ref to restart it all the time. It is just playing to the quirks in scoring.
I just picked the very first 125# match I found from last year's NCAAs:
Both guys spend the first round tangled up and hanging on to ankles to prevent a score. It is a technicality. That is how sports work. Either one of these guys would blast you off your feet in five seconds, just like Miyao would choke you unconscious just as fast.
It is just sport application and playing to scoring quirks. It happens in all sports.
The difference is Those sport wrestlers are normally tough, athletic beasts who can transfer a lot easier to MMA than sport bjjers who button mash berimbolos
