Why is rubber guard and some submission attempts so hard to deny?

I thought the submissions were re-tuned the patch after that change went in.

But it's been a while, I could be wrong.

Also it's good that the subs were never changed, they are already very easy to deny and this way lower rated fighters with good move sets won't be wasted. As it is right now you can sub almost anyone with any fighter. I should know i have 1,124 submission wins in ranked matches. That's a lot. lol

I'm trying to think of MMA fights where rubber guard has been very effective.....

Ortega held a dude in rubber guard and smashed him with elbows for like 5 minutes.

Magny just did the same thing.

Ben Saunders has a crazy Rubber guard. He also hit the first Omaplata in the UFC off Rubber Guard.

Dustin Hazelett hit a modified Armbar off an Omaplata, which was off Rubber Guard against The Barncat.

George Sotiropoulos was known for his nasty Rubber Guard. Dominated his fight with Joe Stevenson with RG reversals, and almost finished with an Omaplata.

Shinya Aoki uses it quite frequently, and has hit Gogoplatas off it.



Here's a cool video of some solid Rubberguard work outside the UFC
