it is all about the rules
when the ufc first started by the gracies there were no breaks, no stand up
once someone got you on the ground they could sit and wait advancing very slowly until you made a mistake

which made submissions really effective.

the new rules are best for strikers, because it is a lot easier to learn take down defence than it is to learn submission, and take downs.

if you can tie someone up so they are not advancing then you get stood up again.


personally that unanswered strike rule is to arbitrary, it should be a time limit
to many fights are stopped by the referee when they could continue.
