Exactly, this is MMA, not wrestling, not boxing - use whatever works or go to kickboxing and stop whining about getting taken down.
Guess what? if they train wrestling more they will be able to stop the takedown and/or get back up - but at what cost? stand up training. But they are so worried that they need to be able to KO him that they don't train wrestling and then get taken down and controlled and are surprised about it. LOL
Time to move camps then boys, stop making excuses and get in the wrestling room
Sean IS the case in point - stand up was good enough and he worked on takedown defense and was able to keep it standing long enough to catch him -because Sean is that much better than the other fighters Sterling has beat. Sean would kick Petr's ass
I hope Petr can return to form because I would like to see this matchup. He hasn't really been himself lately and eeked out a win recently.
That's so true, people are putting Petr off but he lost to some amazing fighters and definitely has a chance to make another run for the title.
