Maintaining top position and controlling an opponent on the ground minimizes the risk of losing to a lesser-skilled fighter.

But you see, like, even this, like, when you're standing, there's so much less that has to go wrong for a good guy to get beaten by a guy who's not much lesser. Like, when you're grappling someone, so much has to go wrong in order to lose to a guy who's worse than you. So, like, if he took him down in the first 30 seconds of the round and he remained in top position, like, just riding him, there would have been like almost zero danger in the round, which is like what Khabib and Hamzat do. Correct. Right. Whereas in this guy, that last 50 seconds. If you're here or there, you get knocked out. If you're on the ground, there's a lot of shit that has to go wrong to get beat.
