He says it like Werdum is known for his wrestling ability. He clearly doesn't know shit about the subject.
Miocic was taken down by nobodies in terms of wrestling and has yet to fight a wrestler of note.
did you watch any of the fights youre talking about? truly
stipe has spent, and im not exaggerating when i say this, less than one minute total on his back for his entire professional mma career.
beltran caught a knee, thats how he got that takedown. stipe stood back up. looking at the stats now, stipe hit 4 takedowns and 7 passes. the grappling in that fight was not even close. again, were talking about his very first fight in the ufc, his 5th pro fight. he was brand new to the sport and completely dominated the grappling in this fight.
gonzaga hit the only legitimate, straight up shot that has ever taken stipe down. stipe stood back up in about 5 seconds flat, maybe less. gonzaga went 1 for 6 on TDA in that fight and also, was completely dominated on the ground when stipe took him down. i do not believe he stood back up once he was taken down. another fight that stipe dominated, even in the grappling.
junior hit a slick ass trip on a gassed stipe against the fence. cant take anything away from that, but stipe spent about 30 seconds on the ground there.
again, stipe has been totally dominant in every grappling exchange hes been in. the few times hes been taken down, he stands right back up. he faces no real threats from grapplers and never has.
