Cub is a legit black belt in BJJ. I've only been doing BJJ for about 2 years so this isnt expert insight or anything.

In my opinion I think that Cub just lacks submission defense. He may just not train how to escape chokes that often. He's been submitted by Max, who at the time was either a blue belt or white belt. He's not bad at grappling, as he has a decent amount of submission wins himself (4, excluding punch submissions), however none were high profile fighters. I just think something may be off when it comes to training escapes and preventing submissions. He almost got choked in the first round and then got finished in another choke in the second.

So maybe it's his training. Maybe it's just something he has trouble with. I cant say crap about his training because I'm a noob and have never seen him train. This is just what I think could be what gets him into trouble with submissions.
