WNO matches are getting longer and the production is making them feel shorter

Hot take: WNO has solved the watchability problem competitive no-gi has had since forever. The split-screen rule clarifications, the in-match athlete cam, the bracket framing — it all turns a 20-minute submission grind into something that holds attention.

Compare that to ADCC trials footage where the broadcast is genuinely punishing.

What does competitive grappling owe production? And is it bad if a match without commentary is now objectively worse than one with it?
