How good of a wrestler is Glover Teixeira?

[MustangSally]

Have only seen a few of his fights and can't quite make up my mind on whether he's a good wrestler or not.

His TDD against Jon Jones seemed good, he took Bader down and he also took OSP down at will (although this doesn't prove anything). However, against Phil Davis he was taken down repeatedly and rather easily and against Cummins his wrestling again looked non-existent although he was never down for long.

So how do you rate Teixeiras wrestling?

Bad.

Pales in comparison to Carwin, but it's decent.

Good not great

I get the impression that he's a lot like Rampage... not great technique, but very very strong.

It's a fact that he didn't train seriously for the fight against Phil Davis. You can see in the embedded series that he made his camp at home.

He has pretty good wrestling, was able to get up/scramble his way up from every Cummin's attempt.
