The man's a 2nd degree BB in BJJ, yet hasn't submitted anybody in 5 years. If you look at his record, he has more wins by submission than KO or decision, yet he rarely if ever goes for the submission. His submission defence is tight, as shown against Palhares, but his lack of recent offensive submissions is worrying. The man's got boxeritis and tries to KO everybody, even when he's losing the standup/being taken down all the time. I don't know whether it's a lack of fight IQ or he doesn't train his submissions as much as his stand up anymore, but you'd think someone with credentials like his would use that weapon more often and I think he could be far more effective if he used all his tools
EDIT: Not specifically against Tarec he should've tried going for something (although it might have helped), just in general he should try and vary his game as he's pretty one dimensional right now
