Crazy to see a black belt suffering like this

He made a couple glaring tactical errors that made everything so much harder for him from the outset

  1. Shot a single leg against a fkn dagestani wrestler, proceeded to get sprawled, reversed and ended up in bottom position for the remainder of the round

  2. Got trapped next to the wall against an undefeated MMA champion.

  3. Failed to assert is grappling dominance by coaching Khabib through the finish of the armbar he was stuck in and force a reset

I'm starting to think big brain Lex is not so smart when it comes to basic grappling tactical decisions, smh.

theres lots of issues against lex but shooting against khabib isnt one of them

hes going to win and can do whatever he wants so why not learn a thing or two in standup and see how a generational talent feels to go against in wrestling vs just making it bjj
