Not a fair comparison because this shark was obviously trained in the chun...*****. He shoulda bit him again for that.

You beat me to it.

Biting people in a grapple is Wing Chun.

Ever heard of a flying triangle choke?

And technically, the shark was trying to bite, not grapple. RBSD beats RBSD.

No no no, the shark was just trying to maintain position (before submission), he was holding not biting, if the shark was really trying to bite him not even the D34DLY eye gouge would have saved him.
