Who's Clinch Technique Do You Prefer?

[blizzard_armbar]

Fedor - (Sambo/Judo)Clinch, secure immediate takedown. Don't even give the opponent a second to breath, let alone think of a counter.
Randy- (Greco-Roman)Battle for superior clinch control, dirty-dirty box, keep constant pressure, wear the opponent down.

I do not want to know what player would win in an MMA battle. This is strictly a clinch technique question.

I prefer Fedor's technique, because the longer you stay in the clinch, the more pounding and grinding away type fight will occur, and damage is inevitable,i.e.,knees, elbows, body shots. It just seems a little more risky, IMO.
Clinch, dump the opponent on their head, or what have you, then take it from there. Just seems easier to me.

If you don't know how to properly do the takedowns, and try to pull a Fedor, you're going to get reversed.

Technique aside, Fedor's takedowns are beautiful to watch. IHe transtitions from the clinch to the PWN in no time.

As a judoka I would prefer the just get the quick takedown. Especially vs a greco guy.:icon_lol:

Reminds me of how much I loved seeing Coutures 'Greco work' hammer down on the shoulders and arms of folker/freestyle Randleman to where Randleman was a puddle of mud. Not maybe even considering if Kev was roiding or not.

Hi-5 in strat Randy. Freestyle doesnt do enuff leg to leg attacks or even to take a fall for fighting from gaurd.

Kevin didnt do shit there to speak for freestyle or folk. Thats the 'individuals' 'case' for sure example.

Not typically a big diff tho it seems. if the throw is there....

When I compete in sport jiu jutsu (JJJ) I go for an immediate takedown because everyone is so much better than me.

I don't really have that much of a choice though. Most judo guys I spar with can pretty much get any grip they want on me. So when I get a decent grip I try to throw.
It works really well against people who never grappled with me, but with people who know my style I usually end up in turtle.
