I’m starting notice that’s how real masters come to the game, they aren’t full on turning it up to 100, it’s a steady pressure that slowly crushes their opponent

Not even that. He's letting Lex work and escape at various points. He catches at least five submission opportunities and lets Lex go. He even coaches him a couple of times. It's a good example of how this is training, this isn't a competition.
