That's usually the case with guys that have solid grappling. They don't really train tdd because they are so good on the ground

Pantoja is a G. He just goes hard in rd1 and rd2 then rides out the rest of a fight. I don't see how he could get more stoppages not frontloading his efforts. Royval just didn't die is all.

The only thing working against Pantoja is 5 round cardio. His skills are so damn good there’s not many people who can match him

Royval's that one annoying guy that walks in the gym day one and goes all out on everyone like it's the fight of his life.
