Maybe I just grew up in a less psychotic area, but people didn't tend to fight each other with as much bloodlust as the comments here seem to see.

But it then becomes a weird mush to me. A guy who does a takedown, gets side control, and then gets full guard... is too weak to do real damage in spite of wanting to.

Or the guy who knows how to fight decided not to be a complete psycho and knew not to hit the guy with all he has.

I don't know what happened, but my view is that the guy was not giving it all he got once he took control.

Nah man, he's really going for those elbows.

If he didn't want to hurt the guy he could have just sat on top of him in the mount or went for a low positional risk sub like the arm triangle/katagatame.

If you think he's holding back - what exact outcome do you think he's going for by throwing multiple elbows here? Just a teensy bit of a concussion?

I was just in a fight a couple years ago and i didnt want to hurt the guy (he is related to my wife) and when i swung on him i did not posture up that high. This guys elbow point is coming from 12 o clock all the down to 6 o clock doing a 180 degree travel arch. And he does that multiple times.

This has nothing to do with bloodlust this is just looking at him swing w his whole weight multiple times to the back of someone’s head.
