As I said above, Mousasi destroyed King Mo from the Bottom and he Mo still won that fight.
I watched that fight, I wouldn't say King Mo got destroyed. Mousasi was trying to be aggressive, but his strikes from the ground didn't outweigh Mo's TDs.

MMA simply does not reward someone for being active from the bottom often enough for my liking and that fight just emphasizes the point.
Its the scoring system and some of the idiot judges out there. I do agree that there are times when the fighter on the bottom is being more aggressive and controlling the action, but I don't ever recall feeling like a fighter won a round off of his back.

Mo, one of the best wrestlers in MMA, had two choices in that fight, Stand and get KO'd or take Mousasi down, where Mousasi made him look like a stunt double for a Mask sequel.
Exactly, Mo used his wrestling to negate Mousasi's striking. And Mo's face wasn't that bad, lets not get crazy.

Laying on top of someone and winning a fight are two different things.
Well, not necessarily. If you're able to get someone down and hold them there, you're doing something right and the other person has no ground game. I'm growing a bit tired of the criticism.
