the knee to the head was also used in pride by wrestlers, and i would figure most wrestlers dont move position because it has no use for them with the current rule set, if they cant use some of their grounded weapons it would be easy to just stay in the safe position of half /full guard and use punches and elbows (not risking letting their opponent get out of their control). right now to be in side control and attack the head you must hold with one arm them strike with he other making it easier for the grounded fighter get get away or get up, but with the knees they would be able to have a more secure grip of the fighter (using two arms) and then striking with the knee.
are you implying that throwing strikes from guard or half guard is perceived as more effective than strikes from side control or full mount? get the hell out of here. guys don't look to pass more often because they don't want to risk losing position, and they know they don't have to since the opponent on their back can't do much anyway as long as they don't create any openings, and the judges will give them the round as long as the stay on top (even if they spend most of the round defending subs).
