He's not the same guy, he is way better now
In terms of mat grappling, we haven't seen much since. At least I haven't. He's a much better MMA fighter, though. I just think his ground game isn't as elite as some people suggest. That's not to say he's not very very dangerous, but yeah, after seeing tavarez slice through his guard and beat him up on the mat for 8 minutes, I'm going to need to see more mat grappling from him before I act like he can't be beat down there by other great MMA grapplers.
Again, I'm not suggesting that he's not a great grappler (he is) but so are plenty of other mma fighters and I think plenty of guys in mma could hang with him or beat him in grappling.
