Fighters who are good off their back and good top control?

[Fedor5723]

Any fighters who are extremely comfortable on their back and have a great top game. Fighters who don't have bjj, judo, sambo or catch wrestling bases. Wrestling base is fine.
Ex. I forgot about Luke Rockhold.

Is this a trick question.

You forgot to say no homo

Did he?

You’ve excluded a lot of fighters with your criteria.
Chuck? Could do a job on top when needed and when on bottom was very good at getting back up. Not a guard player though.

Cerrone? Technically doesn’t have a BJJ base.

Meisha Tate's good on her back.

Somehow I'm having a hard time understanding your post. Everyone currently in the UFC has one of the arts in OP in their arsenal.

Uhh I guess most people would consider Mighty Mouse a wrestler, although he also has great BJJ, and he has a good top and bottom game

 

[Paul Rudd]

Derrick Lewis

[HI SCOTT NEWMAN]

Alexey Olyinik, he is a master at both

Yeah this is fucking stupid. Werdum was the first to come to mind at being good at both

 

[TheJohnnyWalkerEra]

Khabib is the best at both

Fighters who are comfortable on the ground but don't have grappling bases.

I feel like this post was designed to result in everyone saying Tony Ferguson.

Tony Ferguson is a black belt in 10th Planet Jiu Jitsu under Eddie Bravo

He was also a wrestler, my post was a straight-up fail.

No the OP is a fail. Everyone at this level is cross-trained. Maybe to answer this question you have to go back to the first few UFCs or the local circuit

Why make such limiting criteria? It's not like there are a lot of fighters that have great top games and are very good off their backs to begin with.

Chael Sonnen.

Undefeated in both positions.

I didn't want the list to end up being a bjj thread instead of mma
