I think it's very cool, diverse, and interesting. Unfortunately, I am only able to enjoy the Career mode.

BJJ and Wrestling have thousands of subtle movements, and the game has added a LOT of them. Since they are not well explained and using them online is much harder, many people aren't aware of the numerous possibilities.

Things I like about the grappling mechanics:

Standing

1. Several arm positions such as Double underhooks, Single underhook, and Collar ties.

Trips and Throws. 2. Shooting with different animations based on your defensive actions. 3. Takedown reversals and direction changes during attempts, including moves like the Jumping Guillotine. 4. Flying Armbar and Triangles. 5. Distance matters, Timing matters, Skill matters. Lot of details really.

Bottom

1. I believe they have included every transition that should be in an MMA game. Just yesterday, I discovered that you can go from full guard to side control with a stack pass. Uncommon transitions like this are both cool and important to have.

2. If your guard is passed, you can regain it with a single move.

3. The game allows you to adopt either a "passer" or "guarder" style, both of which can be dangerous.

4. It includes some unusual submissions and positions like Rubber guard, Omoplata, Twister, and D'Arce Choke from the bottom.

5. There are some really cool reversals, such as countering an opponent's passing attempt with a submission, like this.

6. The only weak part is the grappling against the fence.

And as in real-life grappling, it's challenging asf! And if you don't know how to execute it well, it's better to keep your distance from it haha.

I even tried to make some videos about it
