Rubber guard is terrible.

don't remember ever seeing anything meaningful happen from the rubber guard.

the greatest things Eddie Bravo has done had nothing to do with the rubber guard.

he got that Gracie dude with a standard triangle choke and then various half-guard techniques in the rematch.
That’s because rubber guard is stupid and largely ineffective in both mma and BJJ.

No, that’s a high guard. That’s not rubber guard.



1:33 in the video. You're telling me that's high guard?

Regardless, he used it against Hughes in their second fight too. As soon as Hughes finally took him down in the second round, he went straight to it.
 
BJ had great success with rubbery guard work because of his insane hip flexibility.
Not many, if any, can emulate that
