Does Lyoto Machida has a better TDD than Anderson Silva?

[IceAndFire**]

making out like Travis Lutter is some kind of scrub...

Other than winning TUF and not being able to cut weight properly, what exactly has Lutter done?

He's not a complete nobody but he sure as hell isn't the level of wrestler that Davis and Machida are.

 

[effedup]

IDK he probably has a cheezburger though

 

[SuperNerd]

If you're gonna bring up fights that far back you may wanna mention how Sokoudjou took Machida down twice as well.

Soko is also a 2nd degree black belt in judo.

 

[eXtv]

I think so. Lyoto has great clinch game and has been eating wrestlers for breakfast for years. Davis had to work really hard to get him down every time he did.

 

[doomy200]

Yeah I don't think it's even debatable who has better TDD. Anderson seems to have the better submissions though.

 

[spetanink]

I think so. Will he interesting to see if he maintains it at MW.

 

[NBKondit**]

Its not even close Lyoto is a more skilled fighter than Anderson overall as well

 

[Tang Hermit]

Machida has better TDD. It`s his black belts in BJJ & Sumo that help round out his ground game.

 

[fedemma]

How can this be a serious question?

If you've watched both of them fight, it should be incredibly obvious what the answer is.

Haha, i'm sorry guys, I didn't know you all agree with me, I feel bad for the obvious question haha

 

[Concrete]

Yes, yes he does.

 

[Perrichet]

Yes.

Anyone who says otherwise doesn't have a clue

 

[finalboss]

I would say yes.

 

[rush61]

Yes he does.

 

[toaa]

Machida has far superior TDD to Anderson. In a bigger weight class to boot.

 

[djacobox372]

I highly doubt anderson could defend 80% of Phil Davis's takedowns including stuffing all of them in the third.

 

[BubbaH]

Yes. It is pretty obvious who has the better TDD. Machida.

 

[SowingSeason]

Definitely.

 

[Kanster]

I thought this was a joke thread.

 

[bad seed]

Soko is also a 2nd degree black belt in judo.

Soko, Akiyama, and Lombard... these dudes would be so much more successful if they'd remember that they're amazing judokas every once in a while.

They all just fall in love with their own sloppy boxing.

 

[UJustGotChaeld]

Now I'm afraid to ask you who

Machida. Anderson's TDD isn't bad, but Lyoto's is amazing.
