Or, Matt could aggressively engage him.. Sure you can blame the system, but its an actual scenario. How to grapple someone who doesn't want to engage and just circles with hand and head fighting. You have to develop dynamic setups so you can even begin to grapple in the first place.
Its more fun when both people are goin for the finish. But its also a blast to fake a shot then jump and wrap your legs around their neck. You're already losing if they're stalling. So what is there to lose.
