Because he wasn’t doing anything
The aggression wasn't effective, therefore you could say it didn't constitute as real octagon control. Jan was defending the takedown attempts, in turn being successful while Jacare's aggression was not.
Personally, that crap fight was a coin flip and either guy could've been awarded the decision.
but these are all old fights using different scoring criteria, we've had updates to the rules and scoring since thenJudges are inconsistent with wall n stall scoring.
Khabib wall n stalled Tibau and got decision nod for it.
Randy Couture suffered more damage than Brandon Vera but won a decision via wall n stall.
Then you got Brendan Schaub losing your Arlovski after cage hugging him for most of the fight and this case.
We had a post on here about this a few days ago. Jacare used uneffective grappling to stall the first 3 rounds. In the first he tried for a takedown and didn't get it. His other takedowns were used to stall so he didn't have to fight at distance. When it was at distance, Jacare threw less and less. He didn't want to engage in standup as the fight went on. In the fifth Jacare wouldn't even throw a punch, he just danced at distance trying to evade. Jacare's whole strategy was to try and not engage standup. Jacare didn't get one takedown and didn't do anything in the clinch. His whole fight was a stalling tactic. In the fight the ref finally broke up the stalling. I'm surprised they gave that decision to Jan in Brazil.
Not 1 takedown and as the fight went on Jacare wasn't engaging in standup. He didn't want any part of Jan on the feet. It's why he was trying to stall the whole fight on the cage.he didn't control anything, was there 1 takedown? I wasn't looking at TV much by start of 3rd. Saw him dropped in 5th
Colby is aggressive and takes people down and engages in the standup. That's not what this was. Jacare was pressing against the cage because he didn't want any part of the standup with Jan. That was apparent as the fight went on Jacare was refusing to engage the standup more and more. Glad the judges didn't reward this type of fight that Jacare did. It was a total stall strategy.The wall n stall needs to be more intense to influence judges.
Colby Covington may be a twat and his style is boring to watch (for most anyway) but he's extremely effective with such tactics because of his absurd cardio.
