Thanks bro!
It's yellow and it matches my yellow card
Think this dude is trolling. Where are the mods ?
um no. How the fuck do you come up with him in the top 2?????
Idk. I was watching UFC's at the video rental store in the 90s while my mom was doing laundry at the laundry mat. I started watching religiously in late 2005 until 2017 when my interest in it started to decline.
lol
That is true, furthermore Tony is really good at snap downs so you don't even have to shoot on him for him to grab it. IIRC against Lando he timed Lando's head movement and snatched it up standing then forced Lando to the mat.
I remember when the rubber guard for suppose to revolutionize BJJ and fighting.
I am a BJJ brown belt and have fought against some 10th planet guys (there is only one 10th Planet gym in Scotland) and beat them too, they have some nice rubber guard techniques - all that can be negated with a step into half guard.. I used to try and follow their half-guard lockdown system because it was my weakest area by far; but I have come a long way and dedicated it to a Leite style of half guard. The Lockdown is cool if you want to get held down in half-guard - it isn't meant for sweeping.. or doing anything except extending the leg and essentially stalling. If you are any good at holding a top position, then you essentially negate all of their offense from the bottom.
This was actually a very objective and fair assessment. I don't think there is much I can disagree with. I would argue that Dariush and Oliveira are upper echelon grapplers and there isn't really any shame in being outworked by them, but it doesn't make your points less valid.Tony fought, back to back, two great grapplers with excellent top control. These 2 fights combined with the Lee and Castillo fights back in the day provide us with a good jugment of his overall ground game.
Tony's strengths
- Granby rolls
- Crazy scrambles
- D’Arce chokes
- Elbows off his back
- Good grappling cardio
- Doesn't tap
Tony's weaknesses
- Slam takedowns
- Reactive takedowns
- Bodylock takedowns
- It's easy to get to his hips
- Bad TDD
- Susceptible to Lay and Pray
- Susceptible to getting his limbs caught
- Can't or doesn't wanna get out of bottom
- Skinny waist
- Too much believe in his 10P bjj
Here's a list of things Tony doesn't do
- No urgency to get back to his feet
- He doesn't shrimp out
- No hip escape
- No sweeps from the bottom
- No cagewalk
- No defense against getting stacked
Observations
#1 Tony's D’Arce chokes only work when before he's taken down and he controls the descent. Same goes for his guillotines. Both techniques don't work for him when the opponent has already taken him down and is on top.
#2 Tony's unorthodox takedown defense doesn't work against elite grapplers like a Khabib, Dariush, Charles, Gregor and Islam.
#3 Tony's bottom game consists of just spamming subs and throwing elbows. Good grapplers can easily neutralize both those threats and continue to lay and pray on him.
#4 The only guy Tony has submitted from the bottom was a tired, staph infected Kevin Lee whose known to be susceptible to gassing out from grappling too much and getting subbed from the bottom.
#5 Tony's skinny frame and waist is bad for defending takedowns
#6 Tony's believe in his bjj system makes him not be urgent to either defend the TD for real or do everything to get up again. It's a liability instead of a strength against wrestlers/grapplers with great top control.

Intelligent, well thought out, and articulate. Why would you waste that here?Tony fought, back to back, two great grapplers with excellent top control. These 2 fights combined with the Lee and Castillo fights back in the day provide us with a good jugment of his overall ground game.

I never noticed your username prior to today. Did you recently stop taking meds?
