Was there a reason Rountree didn’t jump on him when he was lying on the ground after the knock down? I thought the go to move after a heavy knock down was to jump on them and start hammer fisting their head. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought the go to move after a heavy knock down was to jump on them and start hammer fisting their head. His gameplan was to keep it on the feet. He had the best of of him in the striking, no need to rush in looking for a finish on the ground and risk being turned over and potentially submitted etc 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought the go to move after a heavy knock down was to jump on them and start hammer fisting their head. Can only assume he didn't want to get tied up on the ground against a BJJ brown belt. Anyone lying like Anders was there with hands behind the head, rotating and kicking is almost begging you to get on top of him. I have no doubt Rountree probably would have finished him there if he actually went for it but must've thought the risk was too high for him when he can easily just keep it at his range on the feet where he was already destroying him. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Conor knew he didn't have an answer on the deck after the first fight and stood him up every time Diaz hit the deck. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I see I didn’t know that Anders was as good on the ground I just assumed when someone is lying there near enough sparked out it was shooty in to finish it off. I hope Anders got well paid for that because for the first 2 rounds that was a hell of a beating. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember that and I realise there is some fighters who are far too dangerous when they are on the ground but surely after 4 heavy knockdowns you would fancy yourself to finish it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

According to his record he only has 1 submission. All it really means is he's put in a hell of a lot of time in classes for it. Still, Rountree is not well versed in that area so best to avoid it when possible until such time he's at a decent level for it.

I don’t know the first thing about rankings or who’s better at stand up or BJJ but it’s good to learn. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
