Submission Underground 17 is Sunday on UFC Fight Pass w/ the below submission grappling matches w/ my picks.
What are yours?
Craig Jones vs Mason Fowler (their 3rd match, Jones won by guillotine choke 1 year ago, Fowler won by rear naked choke a couple of months ago): JONES by decision
Jesse Taylor vs Roberto Jimenez: JIMENEZ by submission
Richie Martinez vs Ben Egli: RICHIE by submission
I Missed the last one but hopefully I won't miss this one.
Hate how these are only 5 min regulation.
This match will be similar to their first.. Jones attacking legs, Fowler defending until OT. Then OT will be a toss-up, I'll pick Jones though via escape time.
The format in SUG is bad. Only thing worse than their format is when they tried to improve it by making a tag team format.
Fern 10th Planet -Hate how these are only 5 min regulation.

yea Chael was all “the best grappler on the planet” for craig - sure, until you can stall for 5 minutes and then be granted BACK control in OT… it was a matter of time until he ran into someone with an elite squeeze that could make it out of regulation. Not shitting on mason at all - by all accounts, he should be 2-0 vs craig
