Which fighters are supposed to be elite at a particular discipline, but rarely use it or got beat by it against “lesser” competition. I’ll start:

- Most American college wrestlers
- Romero’s wrestling
- Magomedov’s wrestling
 
I don't doubt it, so shouldn't really say it, but this has also been the case with Aldo's ground game.
I do think with Aldos ground game anytime he chose to implement it he was successful. He outgrappled Chito easily, he hit lamas with a nasty guard pass straight to mount when lamas had double butterflies, and hominick except for round 5 when he coasted out the 5th and just held him in closed guard.

Meanwhile all we saw of Jardine's ground game ever was him off his back but for different reasons.

Charles oliveria ground game; been finished on the ground by guys like pettis and felder who shouldn't beat him there.
Sure but you think it's bad enough that Chucky's ground game is a "fraudulent attribute"?

I also remember him taking Korean Zombie down and holding him there. Zombie was never a slouch in the ground.

I wish Aldo would have used his grappling more.

Charles Oliveira on the ground is the grappler version of a glass cannon elite striker. Pure offense.. gets caught sometimes.
