Best Example of Striker Neutralizing a Wrestler

[RichardN7]

Looking for ideas for fights where the striker managed to stuff the wrestler's takedowns (or quickly stand up after them), beat them up on the feet and won decisively. Not talking about some weak wrestler either. Think Jose Aldo vs Mendes or vs Edgar. Those are the obvious ones. Can you give more examples, aside from McGregor vs Alvarez, Aldo vs Everyone, Chuck Lidell, etc...?

Silva vs Sonnen 2

Too much thinking involved. Sorry.

Rumble vs Phil Davis

 

[Shoot Boxe Hero]

Joanna vs Carla

 

[GODZILLA213]

Russow vs Duffy. I know it didn't work out, but he was implementing a great counter wrestling gameplay before atoms were split.

Crocop vs Waterman

Overeem vs Lesnar
Cain vs Lesnar

Shogun vs Arona

Wanderlei vs Rampage

Most recently Cro Cop vs King Mo in the Rizin Tourney.

 

[DaPunkMinowaMan]

Crocop vs Hearring for instance.

or Igor vs Kerr.

 

[Slick_36]

Crocop vs Coleman
Crocop vs Aliakbari
Crocop vs Waterman

Overeem vs Lesnar
Cain vs Lesnar

Shogun vs Arona

Wanderlei vs Rampage

Crocop vs Coleman is easily the first thing that comes to mind. Even as a wrestler, I loved watching that dude work elite guys over without breaking a sweat. Him and Jack Johnson were made to grapple but happened to reach the top in striking.

 

[DaPunkMinowaMan]

Pedro Rizzo too, many fights... Coleman,Telligman, TK,Barnett,Severn,Ricco...

Amar Suloev too.. many fights...most of his WVC fights, Lister,Bustamante,Okami...

 

[CroCopsLHK]

Thiago Alves vs Koscheck

 

[ARONAbeetFEDOR]

Aldo vs Edgar 2. It was a masterpiece.

Bonus: Doo Ho Choi vs Mitshuhiro Ishida
