not tot take anything away from Burns, but carneiro looked tired.
A LOT of BJJ gets thrown out the window once striking is thrown into the mix. I would put a lot of money on an MMA fighter that's a BJJ blue belt with 6 fights and 3 years of MMA experience over a BJJ black belt of 10 years + with 2 years of MMA experience.
The fight I go back thinking about most recently is Huerta over Crane, Crane is one of the most decorated bjj guys to enter the UFC and he couldn't submit Huerta, and not only that but ended up getting beat up pretty bad.
People really don't understand the difference and think it's 1998 where enough BJJ and a little MMA was enough to be a champ.
Then what was Carneiro's excuse for the rest of the fight prior to the triangle?
I have no idea what happened, I know some people who train under Roan and am giving them a ton of shit for this.
It wasn't even a real slick triangle, it wasn't really set up fast or anything.
Roan must have gassed, forgot he was fighting etc..
EXACTLY IT WASNT SLICK OR EXP, IT WAS AN OK SETUP AND AVERAGE EXECUTION, AT BEST; AN a world class grappler got caught by a guy who is probably not much better than people in the grappling forum. An he got caught after completely dominating position, striking, etc..
just blows my mind
It blows your mind because you truly don't understand MMA, don't worry, neither does 99% of the guys that post on Sherdog.
Go train some MMA, have a few amateur, maybe a professional fight and then give us your perspective on this fight. It WILL change.
