And you're missing the whole fukking point.
Brazilian jiu-jitsu was designed specifically to help smaller weaker people defend themselves against a stronger/bigger/tougher opponent. READ: it's for pussies.
It is. I'm sorry. That's it's origin. Deal with it.
Now obviously not all grapplers are pussies. If a well trained grappler goes up against some numb-nut that doesn't know what he's doing, he's got enough tools in the bag where he can fuk that dude up royally in a couple seconds.
But if he's going up a similarly trained fighter, neither can quickly gain the upper-hand, and so it turns into a humping contest. And that's fukking gay.
Look man, the rules of UFC make it so that grappling is the easiest way to win. That's the only reason anyone gives a shit about grappling. And why people like yourself think it's this super cool badass thing. Grappling is a cheap way to fight. It's like being Law in tekken and doing nothing but the sweep kick the whole damn time. Will you win? Certainly. It's unstoppable. But you're a douchebag for doing it.
A match between two grapplers is not exciting for anyone to watch, except for those who are too dumb to realize what they are watching, or they just so happen to appreciate the art of grappling. And they can watch greco-roman wrestling or a judo tournament.
To anyone else, who's perhaps witnessed competitive fighting beyond UFC, and understands what they're watching, a fight between two grapplers is like watching the NBA turn a basketball game into the all-star 3 point shooting contest. It cheapens it. It neutralizes all the other aspects of the game. Hence my comment earlier: grapplers are the JJ Redicks of mma.
Maybe you've conned yourself into believing that watching two grown men slither around on the ground for three straight minutes and occasionally throwing a punch or elbow is exciting. I think it's lame. I think it's lame that UFC promotes rules that encourage their fighters to keep their distance in the hopes they can avoid having to fight, instead waiting for that one precise moment where they can swoop in and engage a submission hold. That to me, is for pansies. Maybe you don't see it that way. Maybe you're a Marshall Law player. But I do. And so does everyone else that just wants to see two dudes standing toe to toe and going at it.
