Matt was mad that Nick, up on points, didn't fall into his guard. Well, I'd love it if at every tournament I could just lay on my back and the person would just fall into my guard (I would have a lot less concussions :D) but he has to work from side control (where Nick put him multiple times) or take a shot. If your an elite athlete, having played in the NFL, and fight for the biggest MMA organization in the world, you would think he'd be quick enough to shoot a single on a 330 pound man.
Evidence that tournament can expose the areas you are weak in.
The mats in the gym: the playground
The mats in the tournament: the testing room
Have fun experimenting on the playground, and get graded in the testing room.
You may ace the test, but most of the time, you're finding out why you didn't get that perfect score. And at the next test if you see that same problem, you'll be like, "Damn! They got me again!" or "I know the answer like the back of my hand!"
