@ HQ we have been working the squeezing finish from several subs, but was anyone else screaming "move you lazy fucker" at the TV when Jacare decided to finish the arm triangle from a gable gripped halfguard top? Why not the extra effort? Im not trying to give advice to a BJJ Black Belt World Champ, but why not pass and finish right, the dude was tired anyways.
Why going the extra mile passing if you can finish it where you are safely?
i mean I get that it was safe for him, because he is who he is, and the other guy was a chump. But thats not where you get the most pressure to finish, unless hes doing something i dont know about. I assume hes doing what we all do just better.
Maybe he wasn't too keen on showboating that day lol who knows?
If it turned out he couldnt get the finish, I am willing to bet he would have made more of an attempt to pass and finish properly.

Slick submission-specialist Ronaldo Souza had hoped to make his claim for a chance to win his Strikeforce middleweight title back from Luke Rockhold by beating opponent Bristol Marunde in convincing fashion last night at Strikeforce: Tate vs. Rousey. While the 32-year old lived up to his expectations in terms of finishing Marunde off, turning in a solid performance along the way, it appears his plans for a crack at the champion will have to be put on hold due to injury.
Shortly after the bout’s conclusion “Jacare” revealed he’d hurt his left hand in the fight’s first round and was limited by the damage despite looking fairly sharp on his feet. X-rays have since confirmed Souza actually broke it in addition to his thumb, a fact he acknowledged earlier today on Twitter.
No specific turnaround time was mentioned but, with Souza sidelined for at least a few months, it looks as though Tim Kennedy should now be set for the next shot at Rockhold’s belt as had been expected.
Souza took Marunde out with a Rear-Naked Choke in the third frame of their main card clash, the twelfth submission win of the 15-3 Brazilian’s career. He has now won five of his last six scraps with the only exception involving the decision defeat to Rockhold.
