This is EXACTLY the response I expected!

In my world, not being willing to engage on the ground is stalling and means you're scared. That's not what I call fighting, I call it running.

But in MMA, the rules are that if you stand up and I stay down...I have to stand up. Crap rule, if you ask me....why not come down to where I want?
