Chael defensive wrestling?

[mistermarcotte]

We all know chael have some of the best offensive wrestling. He always push forward with his iron jaw and go for the takedown no matter what they throw at him.

What about his defensive wresling? or Greco-Roman wrestling?
his he good at those things?
I don't remember have seen Cheal defending for a takedown.
Do you have some example of him defending for the takedown?

(sorry for my poor english)

Any guy at his level, coming from the camp he comes from +his physical strength would have good TD defence.

I think Anderson got him down with a single but Chael swept him straight away with a body lock.

 

[JonesBones]

He has fought mainly strikers lately. Jones is the best wrestler he's ever fought. He hasn't fought any top wrestlers really.

Funny you brought this up. Jones could easily change angles, land an easy trip into side control. good plan, really.

Dan Henderson is a good example of solid top of the chain offensive wrestling, but lack in tdd when he been pressure (base on the Jake Shields fight)

Doesn't matter, as far as he fight w/ Bones goes. Offensive, defensive...pfft...Bones w/ bitch him.

 

[Warrior99]

as far as the UFC goes the only times I've seen him taken down is by Anderson Silva when he ducked and shot on him, when Demian Maia trip/threw him and when Michael Bisping double-legged him in the 3rd round

I think it is much more likely that we see Jones put Sonnen on his back than vice versa.

 

[heavyarms21]

To Me this will be a showcase fight for Jones

What? He hasn't fought him yet.

Jones by triangle choke. You never know, it could be a gameplan. Also hellbows from the bottom.

I agree, I do think JBJ will get surprised and might end up on his back once. I won't count Chael out to not get at least 1 td.

I was forgetting this one. Chael push for the takedown (or wall stalling) and Demian trip him..... this is bad new for Chael. Because JJ have probably the best greco roman wrestling in the UFC. I just hope we gone have a good fight. It will be good if we could see Jones on his back for one time.

All I remember is that he got taken down by Maia right into a beautiful triangle.

 

[Pengu]

maia took him down...

Perhaps, but I was kinda surprised when I saw Fitch getting TDd by BJ and Maia.

 

[Da Speeit]

What a horrible attempt at a smarmy, unnecessary correction

 

[Halfer]

Fight metrics has him just over 70% for TDD, which is about average (although he hasn't fought many wrestlers).

well brocks tdd isnt very good, but i he was the strongest wrestler ever in the ufc and his offensive wrestling was on a top level, ok not on sonnesn level but still great.
