GIF: Fedor takedown Mir.

[L0ki]

He hit some really good clinch work.

The knees were pretty solid.

 

[Amorak]

lol and mir said the big advantage he had was against the cage besides he was the better martial artist

 

[Uber_Noober]

That was a thing of beauty.

[MysticGOD]

Fuck
That is as beautifuckingful as it gets

 

[Prex32]

Considering
Mirs size. Wow

that's what i thought
big mir dropped to the floor like a full sack of potatoes

Nice, but actually its osoto-gari, a reaping (ie leg) throw. Fedor was on the Russian national judo team, which means he was a very good judoka.

That is not an osoto gari. It's a harai goshi.

Man, when that happened, you knew you were witnessing the greatest of all time...twilight of his career and the guy can pull that off when rocked.

Lol this was my live reaction. You can see when I say ‘oh shit’ when Fedor got dropped and then seconds later I get up and start walking backwards in awe of the hip toss.

 

[Fedorisbest]

great throw. You know Frank wasn't expecting to be thrown. His game plan was to prolly use some dirty boxing against the fence

 

[NaughtyBoy]

When was the last time Fedor pulled that off? 2003?

No matter...

No, look at the rotation into the throw (or lack there-of) and the hip-contact (or lack there-of). Its osoto-gari, and in fact the way Yamashita used to do it in competition.

I also think it's a harai goshi.

Osoto-gari:

Now compare it to Fedor.

 

[FrontNakedChoke]

I lost it when he took him down.

I haven't celebrated a victory as much as that one last night in a while. Just something special about when Fedor wins.

 

[rearnakedchoke]

That was great.

Wasn't Mir's gameplan against Carwin to get him up against the cage and even his corner said that Carwin would fade? I might be misremembering.

This is a hip toss, by UFC star CM Punk no less:
