A little throwback Taza vs Giles (pre ADCC Giles hype) with some solid takedowns and near passes from Taza (along with some leg entanglements and attacks) and Giles having to contend with a competent leg locker countering his entries (unlike ADCC).
Having competed in Judo, MMA, submission grappling, and BJJ, I don't actually ascribe to the "which is better" mindset for grappling. I love different scoring formats for making it possible to see different elements of grappling. I hope to compete more in the Gi and possibly some Sambo this year once regular life resumes. Good ole grappling style showdowns are always a blast to watch as you always get some surprise transitions and results. Barnett utilized minimal energy to pass once Lister over-extended, then utilized minimal energy to pin Lister and wear on him. From a fighting standpoint he spent time in half-guard capable of punching, from side mount would be able to land knees et cetera, and shut down most of Lister's attempts to reguard or threaten submissions. While not overly complicated, the effectiveness is hard to deny. Barentt's fight-centric style was obvious in his waiting for Lister to extend his legs again, pin one ankle, throwby/leg drag style pass to stack to attack the turtle and trap Lister there, making Lister carry his weight/ride, pinning the shin with his knee. Lister eventually collpases to his side in a half-hearted attemp to sit thru to guard or just simply relieve the weight leaned on him and Barnett cradles him to further sap his energy. Barnett rotates to north/south another position from which he can easily maintain top position and shut down reguard/submission attempts and forcing Lister to fight his way out/extend and arm and Barnett locks up a kimura. Lister spends his last bits of energy looking for some submissions/guard retention but Barnett sits through to a diaphragm choke and gets the tap.
