You see, even this, when you're standing, there's so much less that has to go wrong for a good guy to get beaten by a guy who's much lesser.
When you're grappling someone, so much has to go wrong in order to lose to a guy who's worse than you.
If he took him down in the first 30 seconds of the round and he remained in top position,
Like, just riding him, there would have been, like, almost zero danger in the round, which is, like, what Khabib and Hamza do.
If you're here versus here, you get knocked out.
Versus if you're on the ground, there's a lot of shit that has to go wrong to get beat.
That's what I was talking about with scrimmaging.
Like, Rufy was just like, I'm not accepting.
And every previous takedown, he was like, I'm accepting bottom position.
This time he was like, I'm not getting put on bottom.
And he just kept moving until he was in top position.
He's going to get caught.
Between these guys and a guy like Khabib.
Saint-Denis tried to take him down in the first round and tried to finish him in the first round.
So he had more submission attempts and worked towards submission a lot more than a Khabib would.
But now he's a lot more tired.
Khabib and Hamzat spend the first, if it's a five-round fight, the first two to three rounds just riding the guy.
There's no submission attempts.
