conor gave up his back

how many ufc champions have done this?

Had Gus rode Jones, trust me, Jones would have been flatten out quicker and would undoubtedly tap out.

He's used to giving up his back. Muscle memory kicked in, give him a break.

I think that is integrated into butt touch training

He was wobbled beforehand so I'll give him a pass at not defending the choke at all. However, most guys you see who do that (Rumble Johnson anyone?) never seem to evolve and learn how to not become a fish out of water once the fight hits the mat.
