I think Saunders was just really tired, and not from lack of cardio (I think his cardio is good), but from getting rocked a few times. Robertson can fucking swat man, and he caught Saunders a few times and gave him tweetie bird syndrome. Once Saunders had him in rubber guard, I think he felt very safe with the control, and didn't want to fuck up and end up with Robertson posturing up in his guard and dropping bombs. Even just a few of Robertson's bombs getting thru could be enough to put Saunders out. He zombie'd several times, but just didn't seem comfortable transitioning away from that control...felt very comfortable slicing up Robertson while Robertson was basically defenseless. That's what I took from it anyway.
