A perfect example was Hackney vs Gracie. I'm watching that like "that's a bjj takedown?!"
It was almost exactly like in grade school wrestling when you're doing these early takedown drills and some (pretty much most kids) have no idea what to do and the attempted takedown is this kludgy looking attempt.
Hackney was a smart fighter and the first guy to give Royce some real trouble. He implemented a Sprawl-n-Brawl gameplan, just didn't have the skill to see it thru. Did Hackney ever really get taken down in that fight or did he just not disengage when in the clinch with Royce falling in front of him?
