It's always spamming double legs nowadays. Hopefully we start to see some upper body takedowns regularly
TS, you must add Kharitonov takedown against Ninja in your thread, it's just beautiful (even if it's more judo style)
Legit question yo; how much of that first gif is just pure strength vs technique? Fedor is so fast that it's hard to tell exactly what he's doing. It just looks like he's tossing Nog like his little brother.
Romero v Machida was a good one if I remember rightly.
Would find a gif but I'm sitting in a toilet cubicle at work on my phone. Not the easiest place to find them.
Dudes that fight TD style in the UFC come from wrestling not judo or sambo. So they use double and single legs.
Also most of your gifs show horrible technique where brute strength takes the dude down. Nice Fedor timed toss.
When applied properly, upper-body takedowns take way less energy than lower-body ones.
