Possible to maintain top position on the ground?

[noles367]

I started my career as a wrestler, and I'm starting to regret it. I was hoping the use wrestling mainly even be a "lay and pray" type fighter.

It seems impossible to maintain top position for even a short length of time. What I mean is there seems to be constant advancing or reversals that leads to either the opponent getting up or being swept into the mount.

Is there a way to hold your position on the ground? Or is the game designed to be played at a faster pace?

I found this post on reddit to be the best written explanation of the ground game so far. Probably worth a read if you're having troubles. But yeah, it does take practice and reaction times to master it.

Good article. The stamina stuff seems to contradict what some users here claim to experience online though....
