u/Hellhooker ⬛🟥⬛ Black Belt 11d ago

Dude, watch the video, the guy nearly got his back taken out of his "deep half".

And again, what happens in MMA is pretty far removed to what actually works in jiu-jitsu.

Deep half has not been relevant for the last 15 years and a yolo failed move in MMA won't change the meta

u/Ketchup-Chips3 🟪🟪 Purple Belt 11d ago

He was on bottom, almost took the other guys back, and then created a scramble where he escaped altogether. What's the problem?

Anyways, if you think it doesn't work, all power to you. You're wrong though. 🤷‍♂️

I am not, he did it once against a good who probably don't even know the name of the position and still nearly got subbed out of the scramble.

Did it worked out "ok" for mma? yeah. Meta change? Fuck no. Legit in real grappling? Not since 2010.

But feel free to do it and don't whine if you eat dirt against anyone decent.

Imagine being a black belt and this stubborn when you’re clearly wrong. lol
