What Determines Your Takedown Ability in Mixed Martial Arts?
MMA legend George St-Pierre had the most sophisticated array of setups and to takedowns that I've personally ever witnessed. As good as all of you saw him look in the octagon, anyone who knows George as a coach will tell you he was twice as good as that in the gym where he would often go against people several weight divisions above himself. Most athletes have a very hard time imposing their setups on an opponent so they just bully someone towards occasion and put them down on the cage. It could have been very bad, but it turns out to be great.
