jericksen5 said:...when he said submissions will disappear from MMA within the next 10 years? When i think about it, he might be right. With the new generation of MMA fighters starting out learning everything, it makes sense that they will be learning only defensive bjj, and how to get position, neglecting submissions. it takes 10+ years to get a black belt, i think this new generation will learn only how to defend, and we will see a resurgence of the striking arts. Is this trend already becoming apparent with Anderson Silva and Crocop? I hope randy is wrong, theres nothing more exciting then watching a top fighter go to sleep, what do you guys think?
I think you got a good point there but like you i hope this won't happen. Still though i see better athletes today but not neceserely better MA artists.... I believe that in the ligh weight divisions we will have more subs becouse the weight of the punches and kicks is smaller than the LH and Heavyweight divisions.
