Oh, leave him alone and let him live in his world. Lots of people from past generations cling to what was once true.

K-1 Maia is a myth invented by delusional BJJ-fan-boys. He's consistently pursued the ground every fight he lost that went longer than 21 seconds.And looking at K-1 Maia or other similar examples

He shot seven take-downs in both fights. The difference from the Fitch fight was that he wasn't succeeding, not that he wasn't trying. Perhaps you need to watch them again?
Fightmetric calls every mat return a new take-down, the numbers aren't comparable in that sense. Tripping a guy back down from a rear body-lock != being repeatedly stuffed when trying to shoot from the outside.Fightmetric is saying that he shot seventeen takedowns against Fitch, and only seven against Munoz and Weidman.
Where are you taking your statistics?

P.S. To clarify, "both fights" above refers to both the Weidman and Munoz fights.
Didn't he try to kickbox Hughes and juice in the Saku rematch? Obviously JJ is not enough for him.
So Roger Gracie, the greatest BJJ competitor of all time, would have been successful in the UFC if he only focused on his BJJ more, and gave up trying to learn striking and wrestling?
I don't know, part of me wants blast him because he trained extensively in Muay Thai for the Hughes fight. Now maybe this was in preparation for a lack of ability to take the Fight to the ground vs Hughes.
But the other part of me commends him for speaking up for his art and reminding people that BJJ works so work BJJ!!!!! Royce and his generation didn't fuck around with the stand up. It was......
Bell rings
Walk out
Lung kick to clinch
Takedown
BJJ
None of this pushing the jab out for 2 minutes straight while circling at striking distance nonsense! They got after the grappling!!!!!!!
Of course they fought in a different era of style vs style. But some of these newer BJJ guys coming over to MMA could use a reminder for sure.
I mean most of the time you won't see a wrestler at the mid level of MMA mess around to long in the standup, cause they are wrestlers at heart and that means shout, slam, smash!
