      That’s basically what Tommy said. He said there wasn’t any real winner. He said it was a few missed swings, a bear hug, then the bite and then it was over that fast. So basically a draw….Although If were up to me I would give Paul the edge because he made Tony submit/give up. Like Tommy said what is cheating in street fight! No such thing….

      @@KHLB516 yes I have an I've trained also in MMA and jujitsu. There are no "bear hugs" in amatuer wrestling. A bear hug isn't a takedown, it is supposedly a submission that is an even weaker version of a leg scissor squeeze which already doesn't work, you're not taking anybody out with that, you're just losing energy whilst exposing your face.

      @Zach Who's talking about fair? And who's stupid enough to use a bearhug in a street fight anyway. You easily expose yourself to getting headbutted, punched or elbowed in the face and tire yourself out just to make your opponent feel uncomfortable. Not to mention eye gouges, bites, hair pulling, nose hook, stomp like you said etc.
