Mma favors wrestlers I never cared before but after this fight it's clear the rules favor wrestlers/grappler boring ass shitFolkstyle wrestling rules you can get penalized for stalling. If you do it too much you can get DQd
You can’t just lay on people in wrestling. Refs will warn you in wrestling too.
In Freestyle wrestling is more about getting quick exposure of the back or getting takedowns to transitions. Very rarely will people be on the ground for long periods of time. There is also a “mercy” rule in wrestling if you get a large point difference. 10 in freestyle. 15 in folk.
MMA you can get away (sometimes) with holding position for long periods of times until you might get stood up for inactivity. I think at Khamzat was doing enough for most of the fight to justify being on top. Goddard kinda gave DDP a gift but it didn’t matter in the end.
