Knockouts and submissions are very different.
Knockouts can come from nowhere if you just happen to land a very clean punch. There are a ton of punches and kicks thrown in a fight, so the longer you are trading punches, the more likely you are to get knocked out.
So it's always risky to stand and trade, even if Rampage isn't that good anymore.
But with submissions, it is all skill. You don't just luck into submitting somebody. So if you haven't had a submission win in years, it isn't like knocking somebody out where you just didn't land a perfect punch, it means the other fighter can defend against your submission attempts.

The UFC has had a ton of gimmie submissions and Fitch is notorious for putting himself in bad spots to try and gain position... Damien Maia is not the guy to do that with.
Fitch does posses the one key to stopping that, dominant top control. However, he better stay alert and active or he can very easily be submitted. There are black belts then there is Damian Maia, he's on a different level. The same way a striker can land one punch and end the fight, Maia can catch you being lazy and sweep or sub you.
