Is Derrick Lewis tough to take down?

It won’t be for DC

 

[Arm Barbarian]

No, Roy Nelson even grapple-f*cked him.

 

[Uncommon Valor]

Ask Roy Nelson.

 

[3nigma]

DC just needs to get him off balance and down he goes.

 

[Blanqa Blanqua]

No, Roy Nelson even grapple-f*cked him.

You sayin Roy doesn't have grapplin credentials?

 

[TankAbbott4Eva]

Not for DC.

 

[Espresso]

Theres a video about how he gets up on youtube.

He just nonchalantly gets up when on his back.... Using his brute strength

 

[One MMA Fan]

Nope.

But he isn't bad at getting up for a few times at lest.

 

[Thesnake101]

Roy Nelson, Shamil Abdurakhimov, Shawn Jordan, Gonzaga, Viktor Pesta and Marcin Tybura have all taken him down.

He usually brute forces his way back up.

cormier wins the lewis fight however the fuck he wants.

Yeah, and brute forcing shit doesn't work against DC

[cheesus]

Easy win for DC but that doesn't mean he should take him lightly, Lewis is a very deceiving opponent. He always looks rocked, injured or tired and is typically losing the fight until he wins.

 

[Sapp]

No, but he's very tough to keep down. He times his explosions very well.

 

[King in the North]

He doesn’t have that great of take down defense but the guy is nearly impossible to hold down. He’s too strong.

 

[Zelig]

No quite the opposite actually, gives up takedowns and positioning frequently but he's surprisingly composed in those situations.. revisit some of his previous fights against wrestlers, Jared Rosholt was a fun fight, he was on his back in about 10 seconds

 

[dildos]

he hard to keep down.

 

[Chillez]

Nah but he is very hard to keep down he also keeps his composure really well.

Why don't more people use the "just stand up" technique

Colin should have used it against habeeb
