Whatever it was, it illustrates my point of GJJ having nothing to do with reality outside the ring...is that what GJJ has into evolved to since they decided learning how to take people down was too dangerous? Instead Royler chose to crab walk around and scoot on his ass hoping Sak would decide to fight his way since he cant/wont fight any other way? That seemed the most humiliating experience possible..."please lie down on top of me and fight because i dont know how to fight standing up, and I suck at take downs, BUT if you lay down on top of me i will kick your ass!" ... 
i really enjoy watching MMA but that fight proves it has no basis in reality and is useless for the street as the Gracies themselves understand and practice their art. http://www.megaupload.com/?d=203WYOMY |
if u think that royler or any other bjj practitioner would act the same way in a real self defense situation outside the ring, then u are mistaken. u seem to assume that people who partake in "sport martial arts" cannot make the distinction between competitions and real life situations. u also for some reason seem to think that sport martial artists are going to adhere to competition rules when they are put in a real self defense situation outside of the ring or dojo. to dismiss the value of an entire art based on a mma match u saw on tv is narrow minded if u ask me.
