make no mistake, unless you take BJJ & know what's going on, sport jiu-jitsu can be like watching paint dry. if you watch the first couple UFCs w/ royce when there were no time limits, they can be very boring at some points.
when i watch those fights now, they are a lot more exciting because i can see little nuances that i couldn't see before having a year or so of the jiu-jitz under my belt.
its funny when you go to a live UFC. stupid american audiences will sometimes boo when the fight hits the ground. that is because they are too lazy to learn about submissions and have no patience for them to happen. they should go watch K-1 kickboxing then. there wouldn't be a UFC if not for the gracies and their brand of jiu-jitsu so if you're watching the UFC, you should expect some groundwork.
