When was the last time a top-3 finisher at Worlds black belt division relied on classic Lloyd Irvin / Bernardo Faria pressure passing as their A-game? Leg drag, knee cut, body lock. Pressure as a *modifier*, sure. Pressure as the primary strategy? Maybe the answer is "Felipe Pena." Maybe nobody. Make the case.
