This fight embodies one of the things I can’t stand about modern MMA. Eubanks was on top most of the round doing absolutely fucking nothing while the other chick was at least making some sort of attempts to set up subs and the announcers are talking like Eubanks actually did anything to win other than be on top.
Also, ground control credit should be given to the person controlling the grappling on the ground, not just the person laying on top. You’d think we’d have Learned this by now after 25 years or so of MMA
