Jjake had a cpl impressive ass reversals...made maia look like an understudy...other than that shit was a snorefest

Btw that maldanado dude is a fucking g.

Shields' reversals were nice, but only possible because Maia was attempting to actually finish the fight and taking Shields' back for a rear naked choke.

Shields conversely just laid in Maia's guard and kept busy enough to not be stood up.

When Maia was on the bottom, he implemented an open guard to attempt subs from the bottom and sweeps.

When Shields was on the bottom, he implemented a closed guard in order to stall and get the fight stood up.

Either way, I think it's hard to assume this fight would be anything but a grappling war considering the two's credentials. Neither is known for their striking, so I'm not sure why people are complaining.

In other news Palharas is a piece of fucking shit

Jake mostly controlled the top and fought smart. I agree with the decision. I forgot what the top time was for both but I'm sure Jake's was much longer

The guard is a neutral position. Sitting in it doesn't quantify "control" when you're not doing anything. If anything, I'd say Maia was controlling Shields from the bottom.

Top is control no matter what...lmao
You are dumb aren't you

Actually no I'm a purple belt.
But thanks supplying your advanced knowledge of bjj.

this is news? he's barely intelligent enough to qualify as retarded

If Maia was in that position the entire fight he would lose by a landslide. UFC is MMA not BJJ...

He shouldn't is the point. There is a difference between on top and having top control. The guard is designed specifically as a position of control for the bottom fighter. Once they are engaged in it the top fighter needs to fight for control...otherwise, by design the bottom fighter is in control. Which is exactly why Shields did nothing. He knew Maia was in control and he doesn't have the necessary skills to neutralize that control from within the guard. Any fighter will tell you the same.

Lol @ ima purple belt..where? Local ymca? Yall kill me with that shit. No disrespect but i cringed when i read that shit. Where are you located..name of gym plz
.sooo many vanilla ass programs out there

Relson Gracie's main academy. Located in Honolulu off of ward ave.
Down the road from big American Savings on the corner.
Most of our time is spent training in the garage at home now days though.

But word...ccrrriiiinnngngggeee.
The academy is at the same place it's been the last 65165149684651 I was asked.

seems Legit. Are u a native? If so i aint fuckin with u bruh yall niggas come out the womb with solid chins

lol...I'm Samoan dude.
Muffy dunna know who this is?

Nah. Not under this alias..the fact ur samoan narrows it down to two people tho

lol...yeah.
Let's simplify. I'm actually quite intelligent, and if it comes down to it, I can write my ass off.
That should narrow it down. Also, I'm NOT the fat female one.

He's right, actually.

In BJJ, ADCC, etc if you're on top and in the guard, it's neutral and you're not scoring any points.

In MMA if you're on top and in the guard, you're winning the fight. Regardless of if you don't do anything there.

MMA judging is basically shit. It's designed for boring point fighting wrestlers to sit in people's guard and do just enough to not get the fight stood up.

@Richard Corey @Diode Paul Harris is dope, lol. Pierce shouldn't of been talking shit. It's no different than Hendo Bisping or Sobral Heath.

Omg this nigga ain't dead yet

Wolf.
