Oh but I don't think Maynard is that bad for stalling I just don't think he's capable of finshing a decent fighter.
after his florian fight he basically admitted he didn't really engage and just waited to get a takedown for points as the clock ran out each round.
Everyones answer seems to be penalize wrestlers for inactivity, but in many cases that is completely subjective. For as much shit that Fitch is given for "lay and pray" when does he ever stop trying to advance? For example in the Alves fight, he was criticized for "just holding Alves down." What is he supposed to do with Alves tried to get up? Let him? Why wasn
I just don't understand why more guys don't give up thier back.
I understand in BJJ that is huge no-no and much more dangerous with the gi, but if you are loosing the the fight why not take the chance.
Edgar gives up his back, looks for wrist control and explodes, He even did it against BJ.
I think if you took away standups you would see more risks to get up leading to more scrambles and more exciting fights and ground exchanges.
he did a frekkin situp, balancing ontop of a guy, a guy who is one of the best BJJ in the world (arguable nowadays I guess) who had his back!
bloody marvellous

good post.
even better for ending with atlas shrugged. getting inked next month and my first tat is themed around AS.
great interview TS. i was not a big follower or fan of askren before but i think the interview was very good, and definitely makes me want to root for him. he seems to have a very positive mentality towards learning and improving. he has nice terse responses and keeps it real.
