We saw Nogueira add bulk which actually did prove to be successful in giving him punching power he never had before (he koed schaub and dropped mir and herman) to offset his dimishing submission abilities,and he allways had to struggle to get guys with decent TDD down anyway..
Anderson Silva would use his taunts to mask the shrinking amount of output he was capable of,and the diminishing speed
Fedor seemed less capable of simply barreling his opponents to the mat and armbarring them in seconds,so he seemed to get takedowns only when the oppurtunity was there,and became mostly a striker,and also had degrees of success with that.He had trouble with bigger hws on the ground (Hunt,Rogers,Bigfoot)
