Wrestlers SUCK in the UFC because they are not allowed to knee their opponents in the face after taking them down allowing their opponents to rest and meaning all wrestlers can do is throw weak punches from a bad angle while holding their opponent or doing crappy little knees to the thigh, pointless.

The vid is about him losing the first round till he gets O`Malley to the floor and has to resort to throwing weak punches while holding Sean instead of being able to finish him by kneeing him in the face.
In a real fight to the death, biting renders a lot of wrestling and jiujitsu useless. Whenever I see a guy holding the other guy down there's so many opportunities for biting. Of course both can do it but both are probably want to stand up after that kind of pain or bleeding.
Lmao.....no. You wont have many opportunities to properly sink your teeth into someone in the first place in a situation where you are getting badly outgrappled and are on your back. You're being restrained and controlled and having your range of motion and freedom of movement taken away. Actually being able to latch onto someone properly and bite down in that kind of situation (where bear in mind you are getting attacked yourself, and every move you make can open you up to getting choked TF out or KTFO in response) is much more difficult than theoretical street ninjas seem to think. The guy outgrappling you WILL be able to bite you easily though, based on the physics of the situation and the positions he can put you in. He could just sit in your guard and bite your nose off, headbutt you, dig his thumbs into your eyes sockets and bounce your head off the concrete. Also, even if you DID manage to bite (or eye gouge) someone from off your back the likelihood of it actually ultimately winning you the fight is low anyway. Someone who is an actual career grappler (fighter in general) is used to fighting through pain and adversity, in a life or death situation they're not gonna stop because you bit them. They're probably gonn start bouncing you off the concrete and hitting you lots until you let go, maybe grab your hair to pull you off.
He absolutely dominated O'Malley while giving up a massive height/reach advantage and being older largely due to the wrestling threat. Also Merabs lack of finishing ability is about HIM more so than wrestling. Its well known that he lacks power and finishing ability and that includes stand up wise not just on the ground. There are plenty of wrestlers/grapplers who get finishes and do damage on the ground. Its a shame boxers dont have the ability to force the weak chinned MMA fighters to box with them instead of dumping them on their head or kicking them in the head isnt it?
Wrestling often leads to boring fights but in no way does it "suck" most champs come from wrestling, knees to grounded opponents should be allowed but its lack is not change much. Real fights are not kneed but stomps.. or jumped on booted shoes and all in the face street fights.
Holding somebody while hitting them on the floor ruins the kinetic chain, you can see those punches are soft.
But the guy getting hit is basically trapped between a hard surface and the shots, you cant ride the shots the same way you can standing and your defence can be almost completely taken away depending on the position. Those "soft" shots add up when you're getting held down and peppered with them. Remember its 4oz gloves as well AND elbows AND you can also still be kneed to the body for instance in side control. Not even taking into account submissions. The idea that you cant beat the **** out of someone on the ground is laughable. I wouldnt wanna get ragdolled and GNP'ed out by guys like Khabib, Cain, Brock, Jones, Islam, Khamzat etc or have my leg snapped off by Palhares anymore than i'd wanna be in the ring with Wilder.
Just saying you can`t get the same power laying down like that, bony elbows have more effect than the silly hammer fists though, however a knee to the face would just end things completely by comparison.
