you are right, it’s incorrect to generalize that all BJJ Fighters are the same. But the reason why DoBronx has such an effective grappling is because of his evolution in striking and by being respected on his feet, it is easier to impose yourself in the grappling. 

What worries me is that nowadays a lot of people go to BJJ class for self defense and many trainers care very little about how to bring real confrontations to the ground, they promote that "He doomed if he jumps on my guard" mentality, but In a school fight or street brawl no one is going to jump on your guard, there are more chances of being stomped in the ground before having the chance of a leg lock or flying triangle choke.

Charles wins because he mixes striking, wrestling and BJJ.

Pure BJJ is garbage and only for nerds

Am I crazy? Why is Big John acting like Denise walked away with this one? I didn't think much significant landed for either lady.

Welp it was a sweep for most of the judges, I guess I'm crazy. Just looked like a long sparring session where not much landed.

Kielholtz can be re-launched by Bellator as contender (her last lost was robbery) giving her 2 more fights outside the top 10 and later a rematch against Velazquez or Ilara

She has legit kickboxing technique and fighting experience. The problem is that stick and move gameplan isn’t usually a very effective strategy in front of the judges unless you have a heavy or very famous name in the promotion.

Same thing with the Floyd style in boxing: I see many boxers draw or losses split decision for be to focus in slipped punches and be to focus in lands more cleans jabs over throw heavy shots

@MattyViceGrip The ref screwed the pooch royally. He waved the fight off because he thought Gallon was out in a choke, but he was fine.
