Judging isn't black and white, and I'm glad to see rules implemented that encourage going for the finish, which makes for exciting AND technical fights. You won't find many high level competitors suddenly changing their game to going for stupid sub attempts to impress the judges.

Wonderful. I can't wait to see how this pans out. Rickson continues to be "that silly" Gracie. I wonder if he used those rules to determine his 400-0 record as well?
