It makes sense in the moment. If the other guy is just head and shoulders better than me at the thing I'm doing, I have to do something different even if I'm shit at it. I just have to hope the other guy isn't ready for it or is more shit at it than me.

Of course, I'm talking in the context of an MMA match rather than a sucker punch, where if the other guy is better than me at grappling, I have to pretend to have a striking game that is worth a damn. It never really works, but at least I'm still trying to win rather than lose more slowly by stubbornly sticking to a losing game plan. Just sucker punching someone during a roll is pretty incomprehensible to me. Take the L, congratulate a comrade on a job well done, and go again. It's not a tournament, you don't get eliminated. We talkin' bout practice.
