Machida would be perfect for this - has high-level Sumo experience to go with his striking.
I've heard this a lot about Machida, but is it really true?

Don't know where they found them, but they have a lot of videos from the event here
So can someone quote me with a reply? What happened with submission attempts? I don't see how they can be not allowed if strikes on the ground are allowed. What if you get mounted triangle control to bash his face in, but he taps to the choke? What if you're torquing on an arm for position and it slips into an LAPD kimura?
If the fight hits the ground and no ones throwing strikes they stand it up almost instantly, so those examples have very little chance of happening. All the guy getting torqued would have to do is stop striking and they'd stand it up
How would we know if the person is tapping from the strikes or the triangle? It wouldn't matter. They don't allow much ground and pound before they stop the fight, or stand it up (if the ground and pound isn't that good)
