His first act of cowardice was faking touch gloves and going for an Imanari roll --- I was Eddie Alvarez he was Ferg ---
Luckily I backed away just in time.
He then proceeded to attempt 9 more Imanari rolls, with a few missed takedowns in-between.
After flopping around for most of the first round I take a look at his stamina --- and to my amazement (NOT) he still has a massive amount of it.
I end up winning the first round b/c I leg kicked him a couple times each time he went to the floor.
Second Round --- he mostly gives up on the Imanari roll stuff but had to have done it at least 3 times.
I actually make a huge mistake and follow him to the ground after knocking him down. I really thought I was going to get the finish the fight GnP but he recovered.
I was in Side Control and attempted to Stand Up (i.e. hit L1 + Up on R-Stick to stand up from side control. An unblockable stand-up).
He was able to use one of the BJJ Transitions to put me directly from side control into his guard. Even though I was holding Stand Up from side control (after just knocking him down mind you). His "Major Transition" from Submissive Side Control beat out my "Stand Up" from Side Control Dominant.
A bit weird but hey maybe Ferg's bottom game is that good.
He puts me in rubber guard. Spams rubber guard. Luckily I've faced rubber guard spammers like this and am able to deny it after a couple of times. Second round ends.
Although he's now had to have missed 14 Imanari rolls and a half dozen takedowns, and I've worked the body a bit with knees, his stamina is still quite healthy. Especially is "Grappling Stamina".
Third round. I deny a few takedown attempts. Little to no impact on his stamina. I finally sprawl out and decide to take his back. He was able to turn and I'm in side control.
I DENY his BJJ Transition from side control to guard. I then try to stand-up from side control. But he does a SECOND BJJ Transition and puts me into rubber guard. Somehow his second BJJ transition --- milliseconds after having the 1st one denied --- beats out my stand-up from side control?
?? lol
Maybe it was lag idk
I ended up beating this guy 29-28 on the cards but it was veryyyy close
and it never should have been. He had no skill, all glitch.
Why....please tell me whyyyyy.....can someone attempt 15+ Imanari Rolls and 15+ Takedowns in 3 rounds and still have enough gas in the tank to pull off some of the stuff I said above?
*sigh* lol
I'm not saying I want TDs nerfed!!!! I want them buffed. But then, AFTER they are buffed, in terms of effectiveness/etc., I want *MISSED* TDs to really burn stamina. Especially if it was a 'struggle takedown'. Especially if there were 15 of them missed, plus an additional 15 Imanari rolls missed








Oh and I forgot the 5 submission attempts he did, none of which got past 2 gates, those didn't burn his stamina either lol
