Who's watching these prelims? Is it true what the commentator said, that "it wasn't really a choke". I'm just a dumb purple belt but it looked like a short choke on the chin, right? That can choke you. No?

After he landed 4 enormous hooks in a row with no defense on the ground, that was the time to rip him bodily off the dying man. Not 20 more punches later.

Not really, but it's like Morales was punching from bottom, so it was still a pretty clear round.

IDK, I feel like they were stuck in a neutral-ish position for 4:30 with nothing happening and then in the other 30 seconds Morales was selling out on terrible strikes but landed a few of them clean and heavy.

It's different than the back control in Makhachev vs. Volkanovski, that's a dominant position with actual control even if he did nothing with it.

It's not a neutral position when one of them is the one forcing the position and the other one is waving his hands at the ref with begging puppy eyes.

Sure it is. One is attacking and one is defending, but nothing is happening and the position doesn't allow for any offense because the attacking guy needs to use both hands to hold the position.

I get what you're saying but successfully defending is getting up, which he couldn't, so the attack is considered under the "effective grappling" part, no striking is happening is not the same as nothing is happening, MMA includes grappling.

I mean I guess if 10-10 rounds were actually a thing, I wouldn't say an argument for that is unreasonable, but still in reality they are not a thing and judges pick someone to win the round, it's not gonna be the fighter on the bottom in situations like that.
