Keep in mind that without time limits the BJJ guy doesn't have to shoot in every five seconds like he's on crack. He can wait, let you come to him, or he can just wait for the opening instead of trying to create it. Takedowns are very tough today because the striker knows the BJJ guy has no choice but to go for it constantly.

A failed takedown is one of the most exhausting things you can do, a few of them and you're pretty much done for the night.
