Oh man. I can’t watch this. Feel terrible for Jacare

— Chris Weidman (@chrisweidman) May 16, 2021

It’s very surprising for a BJJ ace like Jacare, to try to stand up in a position like that where his arm is trapped. Maybe we get so good and over confident that we feel we can skip steps to get out of dangerous situations like that one. That cost him big. #UFC262

Yet another reminder that sport jiu-jitsu success is not always a good indicator of MMA success. How one competes in the sport and the bjj rule-set itself is largely responsible for this deficiency.
