That’s the thing, if you are butt scooting to your opponent, you’re engaging them, them backing up is disengaging. I get why the UFC doesn’t want it. But it feels disingenuous to call it disengaging even though that is the consensus.Great grappling. Can't hate on that.
But dislike his style of fighting, flopping is not fighting. He shouldn't be lauded for disengaging.
Hopefully someone can effectively counter his style.

The heel hook GOAT
I'm a hardcore that thinks he's boring as fuck. If he was effective, I'd be ecstatic about the guy. He's just kind of... blah. Extremely talented, but underwhelming at the same time.Hardcores love his style. He brings something different to the table. Casuals can eat their socks
I agree. But I haven’t seen anyone flop since overseen werdum 1. That being said pulling guard isn’t flopping in my opinion, sitting down and asking the person to enter your guard is though.That's Fair.
I am going to go ahead apologize beforehand because this is going be a little nitpicky, but I agree that scooting towards your opponent is engaging. The act of flopping to your back, in my opinion, is disengaging from a fight. I would regard that up there with running. I know...playing fighter strengths and whatnot.
But I also do note that in a situation where an opponent is flopping, it falls upon the other fighter to decide how to deal with that new situation, (ala leg kicks, follow them to the ground, let them up, etc.) Maynard crying to the ref was the wrong way.
And I also can understand why the UFC would consider that unentertaining.
Sorry for the long winded explanation. But that's just my take on situations and fighting style like Hall.
What are you talking about? he took the guy down and smashed him
Bj can finally get a win. Even in tippy tie stance he can outstrike Hall.Rumor is Penn...
