What else is he going to do with their backs?
You are kidding, right?

Some people... Wow.
Shogun's jiu jitsu has always been geared near-entirely toward positioning. He trained under Nino Schembri at Chute Boxe who's always used omoplatas and sweep-leg lock combinations. He's actually considered a pioneer of the omoplata.
Shogun just uses it to land ground and pound instead. This style is likely more gi-friendly, which could explain why Shogun uses its positional advantages without locking in submissions. Even with only 1 submission win, he still has some of the best sweeps, rolls, and half guards in MMA.

that may be, but his utilization of them in actual fights is very questionable.
Vs jones he kept going for the sweep and/or leglock and basically trapping his own arm and getting elbowed in the face.....not really a great success.

attempting those moves against someone with a good top game thats heavier than you is just not smart. but im merely playing monday quarterback here. hindsights always 20/20
I'm pretty sure Jones is the only guy in Pride and UFC who has been able to nullify Shogun's bottom half guard game.
Nobody except for Stephan Bonnar has been able to really stifle Jones' top game and get back to his feet, and I'm not sure that the 2012 Stephan Bonnar could survive off his back against the 2012 Jones.
He did it twice against Jones and threw a way a great position against Gustafsson aswell where he could of landed some great knees by botching a leglock attempt. He only has like one submission win in his career, he needs to stop thinking that he is Palhares.
God forbid someone try's something diffrent and be an exciting fighter
his in the middle of a fight and he probably thought he had something. happens to every fighter in every fight until one works. or just ask him one day? maybe its a joke to troll sherdog.
do you even watch his fights, bro?
