Effective Technique-
Which fighter is landing the most effective strikes? Which fighter is
controlling their position most effectively? Which fighter is executing
guard passes, takedown defenses, and executing technically clean
submission attempts?
This area
includes Striking, Clinch Work, Takedowns, Submission attempts,
Transitioning, and Positioning.
Effective
Aggression
- This isn't about who exhibits more rage, but who is the logical
aggressor. Who is putting more into winning? The person screaming and
running across the ring is not necessarily the aggressor, the individual
moving from technique to technique, from standing to ground and back to
standing while pushing the fight and exhibiting effective effort is the
individual who should be given the nod in this
area.
Defensive
Skills
- Who is avoiding and blocking the strikes, defending the takedowns,
transitioning to avoid a submission, doing all of the above while moving
into a position to execute their own attack?
Ring
Generalship
- Who is in charge? Who is taking control of the arena by cutting off
their opponent's escape routes, setting up attacks off of their opponent's
reactions? Which fighter is doing more to use the ring to his/her
advantage? |
