I don't know why Rogan is saying he shouldn't pull guard. If a guy can grapple they have a better chance of catching Jones on the ground than running in and eating kicks while Jones plays keep away.

Fishing for an armbar against someone who is smashing you with elbows isn't really the optimal strategy.

Sure. They have to be able to avoid the damage or at the very least control Jones on the ground to some degree. Vitor isn't strong enough to do it. It's a viable strategy to negate the reach advantage, but it's going to take someone better than Vitor to do it.
 
You guys are soo lucky... you won't have to watch Vitor babbling on TV for months to come how he took the BEST UFC FIGHTER EVER (after him, of course) to the 4th round, that he's a warrior, that Jesus is everything etc etc etc

He wasn't just fishing for an armbar. Its obvious that he was looking to get any submission period. I think a good grappler has a better chance against Jones than a striker. Jones is too big to stand in front of and strike with. Jones is overconfident in his ground game and almost got his arm broken. You have a better chance of catching Jones in a bad spot in a scrabble than standing with him.
