The definition of elite ground game is being able to put your opponent in the STF submission. That isn't just an opinion - it's an actual fact. First of all one of your legs is just completely out of the picture, and second of all the crossface-like maneuver could work wonders if applied correctly. Obviously Gall would have to be pretty silly to get himself into a position like this, but such is life and such is this weird thing we call MMA.

Fans would probably assume that the whole thing was a straight up fix is this ever happened, but let's face it - if the two had a rematch Punk would fare alot better. Whether he took our brilliant advice seriously and used these moves or not, his first showing in the octagon was clearly not a great representation of the skills he has in his locker. Let's start the hashtag ourselves - #GivePunkAChance.
