It's not that he's overlooked, but rather, the ratings since both of them are HUGE BJJ coaches in Rio. It's like the clash of popular school/style. There's history behind it, and the ratings will be epic.

Oh I get the reasoning behind it.. Ima Werdum stan for the most part :skip: and just want him to get his due


This will be huge in Brazil.. Fabricio doesn't teach In Rio anymore, his gym is in Venice Beach.. But all the same he's a legend

Come on, man.
He barely even got past Bisping! :stopitslime:
I'm a Sonnen fan but I won't go as far to say he's the best wrestler in the organization.

I seriously think Weidman is better than Sonnen in the wrestling department.
But that's just my opinion, breh.

Michael is a talented fighter. Guess who he fought before moving down in weight though, friend. :merchant:

You talking about Bisping?

If so..
Rashad? :youngsabo:

Rashad is a good wrestler. He couldnt take down Jon Jones after proclaiming his superiority over Jon on the ground.

Rashad is a talented wrestler too. He couldnt take down Jon Jones though and also isnt known for his ground n pound punishment. Hes a decision fighter in 2012 and beyond. I think Chaell could take Jon down..

Phil Davis would mangle his ass.

I wouldn't be so sure about that. Phil's wrestling is good, but nothing amazing. There are better wrestlers at LHW, like Rashad and Jones.

Sonnen is not the best wrestler in the UFC. GSP and Jones are better, while Cain/Rashad are arguable.

in his last fight he pulled off a croc roll into a reverse anaconda, nikka. show me Chael doing that. Wrestling is more than a double leg tag down. :rudy:

anybody that knows anything about wrestling were like :ohhh:

Against Wagner Prado... who is a striker [and only a blue belt in BJJ]. Also, I'm pretty sure a gator roll is primarily a BJJ technique [I could be wrong].

Where did I say [or hint at] that wrestling is only double leg takedowns?

Davis got his wrestling shut down by Rashad and had trouble taking down Lil Nog.
