Did Michael Chandler land the most beautiful takedown in MMA history?

[EndlessCritic]

I don't care how many times I watch this, there's something magical about the way Chandler picks up Lloyd Woodward and just ragdolls him mid-air with a hip throw.

DJ=GOAT getting the best takedown of all time and the best sub of all time at the same time

Yeah that was straight out of WWE.

 

[mjoln]

Slam/takedown in Hughes vs Trigg 2 was great too

I don’t know dude there’s something about that Yoel Romero ankle pick. Gets me hard.

 

[RFL]

I remember that well! Poor Hendo!!

Frankie Edgar had a really great one. He lifted the opponent up pretty high and was spinning untill they hit the ground,

Very, very nice.
As far as high-crotches go, I put Cormier's takedowns on Josh Barnett and Dan Henderson in that conversation too.

 

[Harlekin]

To be fair Henderson weight in at 199 for a 205 bout.
While DC was 205, which means he rehydrated to 235 ish, which gives him a 35 pound belly uh advantage

Cormier takedowns on Dan and Gustafson were legendary

Personally, I absolutely loved this golf swing takedown from Islam against Dustin.

It's really unbelievable. How can you let this guy go. It's not like he's a terrible man outside the cage, he's great for the image of the sport too. But noooooo let's take Askren instead, then let him die to push fucking masvidal in the spotlights.

At least he's not under Dana's thumb, and seems to be living a great life, that's a consolation.

 

[b00tysweat]

you miss the Matt Hughes era?

 

[Khaosan]

One of my fav takedowns was GSP running through Alves.

 

[TCE]

This is also in context with who DC did it to. I mean no offense, but who the fuck is Lloyd Woodward? DC slamming Josh Barnett, Jon Jones, Miocic, Dan Henderson, etc... DC also took them down each time differently, and much better as well. Cool thread though.

Not the best one from the fight - if anyone can find a smaller gif of the better one Id appreciate it.

Only good thing Shields is for. He should have lost this fight.
