I have always told guys I train that having long hair is a definite disadvantage. MMA/grappling is supposed to be reality based. I remember early cage fight events where there weren't so many restrictions, and guys with ponytails were getting grabbed by the hair and getting the crap beat out of them.

Aside from that, if you had learned a minimal amount of catch, particularly with Tony Cecchine, you would know that you could also hook the guy's nostrils or eyesockets with your fingers and that would make him expose his neck, too. Catch is very reality based.
