Sorry about that. You get the point of the article, Nepal. That is, more or less, my point. Caleb, I'm definitely with you in terms of watching great submission fighters work out of the mount. There are so many good finishes from this position that we just never see in MMA (bicept slicers, gogos and such), but I think that's going to change. Maybe slowly, but eventually. You’re absolutely right, Hywel. Sorry about that.

You may have a point here and I think I get it but shouldn't you learn how to construct a sentence??? I had to read everything twice to get the gist of what you are saying. I mean, this is a sentence (for you) and it's even its own paragraph. "Fighters look for the mount to finish, but there’s a way that they finish way more than any other, and it’s something that’s strange, given the number of grapplers in MMA." Another sentence/paragraph: "Using those strikes to create openings will be a serious development in the ground game, and while the grapplers in MMA are still behind the guys in submission grapping and BJJ, in terms of their actual ground game, that change will have a serious effect on the way that they play the game, and the respect they get from pure grapplers." Overall I "think" your article is saying that in future fighters will be develop more skills to escape the mount more easily and top guys will revert to subs set up by strikes. However, maybe that's not your meaning at all. Confused, Good god man. You may have a point here and I think I get it but shouldn’t you learn how to construct a sentence???

I for one love it when you see a fighter use the mount as a transition to a nice sub... Nice write-up! I for one love it when you see a fighter use the mount as a transition to a nice sub…
