I am really surprised that you aren't seeing the truck more in MMA/UFC competition. How many times did you guys see fighters last night with a deep single hook that never really did much with it? I recall a lot of fights. Carmouche/Tate especially. These fighters are set up perfect to hit the truck, and instead they are fighting for a second hook or just holding on, maybe throwing some punches.
Is there a reason they aren't using this in MMA?
Is it too high risk because you end up in half guard bottom if you slip up?
Are there just not enough people in MMA well versed in Truck?
Do they feel they may lose the position more often than not?
I compete in BJJ but have not stepped into the octagon for MMA yet, so curious what other people think.
If anything I would imagine its a great way to eventually get the second hook too in MMA for the RNC if thats the path for most of these fighters, but seems like nobody wants to use the truck in UFC, just wondering why
