Wrestlers have found the cheat code to Ws. or at least they are better at it now.
Merab wasn't causing toooooo much damage with his TD but the fact that just having control time will win you rounds really puts the pressure on strikers to dominate on feet. Like IDK if merab even is looking for subs or anything. but if you can get 2 minutes of ground time and not get completely blitzed on feet you win that round usually per the ufcs scoring
It was nasty work Herb Dean telling them to work when merab was up as fukk. very weird.
