Aljamain Sterling and Kevin Dantzler faced off on December 30, at the Fury Pro Grappling 8 event…
And, post-match, Sterling expressed his discontent with grapplers who favor lying on their backs and pulling guard.

And now, Sean O’Malley is weighing in on the topic.
In a recent episode of “The TimboSugarShow”, O’Malley commented:

Just wrestle. Wrestle, you little f*cking fruit loop.
Don’t sit on your butt.

Tim Welch jumped in:

I definitely think it should be penalized a little bit, but also, that’s the sport.
You gotta be able to pass the guard.

Instead of blaming them on butt-scooting, blame yourself or I can’t pass this f*cker’s guard.

O’Malley responded:

I don’t know. I’m just talking sh*t.
Jiu-Jitsu is a sweet sport.

Being able to guard retention and not have someone pass your guard is a sweet skill, but something about wrestling, especially for someone like Aljo who’s going in from fighting…

An MMA guy going, like: “Let’s just f*cking wrestle a little bit.”

The debate then shifted towards the broader implications of grappling in combat sports.
Welch emphasized:

Like Aljo said, if that’s a fight, it’s like – come on.

Every single position he’s in, he’s in this position to just drop bombs on the guy’s head – but that’s the thing about Jiu-Jitsu, it’s not a fight.
It’s not a fight. It’s a completely different sport.
