HW fight just finished by omoplata on the undercard lol

Fantastic. There is no more aesthetic submission than a completed omoplata.
 
Why is the omoplata so rare to see?

I would say people are happy to use it as a sweep because it's a lot less reliable without the gi, top is super valuable in MMA and the penalty for not taking the sweep and the opponent lifiting you up/sweeping and landing some punishment is horrible in MMA.
In the gi it's more of a sweep unless you go for the Clark Gracie style finishes.

People will posture up and place their knee on the belly and pull the arm out as Marcelo does or they will roll out of it and end up on bottom side control. There's also the risk of the guy not rolling but jumping to the other side thus passing your guard.
 
Damn looked like some snappage. Think about it, with HW it might be real good sub because you sit up on that shit with a big hairy fat ass shit is snapping. Like a snapping turtle and I do like turtles.
