Good discussion on another site about why some fighters complain that BJJ isnt scored in MMA like wrestling is.

When we say MMA, of course we have the pretty much established rule of The UFC which is that fighters are scored on Aggression, Octagon Control, power, speed, etc.

Now, BJJ is an essential discpline that every fighter in modern MMA must be well versed at to adequately compete. HOwever, some suggestions are that BJJ tourney style rules should be considered.

I disagree. IN a BJJ tourney, you pretty much get points for everything. Passing half the guard, holding a sub for a while even though you don't get the tap, etc.

So, what are you thoughts on how BJJ should be scored in MMA today?
