What do you guys think that are the best techniques to take down a heavier opponent in submission (no-gi)? Double leg is hard for me, because I’m light and I don’t have too much explosion power. I also get caught sometimes in guillotines, but that’s a technical problem…
If you have some suggestions for me I would appreciate it. Lately I’m starting to think in some throws from the clinch, that I think that don’t require so much strength, and for MMA that's good for me because I have good knees, and if I could add some throws from the clinch that would be great.
IMO the best wrestling technique is an outside single, similar to what Randy Couture did to James Toney. Once you get the outside single you use it to kind of circle the guy down. Some people prefer to pull it straight up but I always found more success doing what Randy did and kind of circling down. You can also use a trip when you grab the single.
Yeah it was just a regular double, Anderson was overcommiting on his strikes and Chael went deep. There was no stopping that TD once Chael shot and IMO Anderson was never trying to, based on his decision to come out swinging.
I don't remember the Couture/Toney one, I'll have to re watch, but shouldn't a regular double be on a straight line with the opponent thrown backwards onto his butt? I remember Chael shooting the double and then spinning Anderson around, basically running around him while getting a hold of him, making him losing his balance from the spin. I thought that was a little more complex than a straight double and I found very nice to watch.
Anderson wanted to get taken down at the start of the 2nd fight. He came out swinging, that's never his gameplan and as a result he left himself very open to the shot that he knew was coming. I think he was trying to chance a 3second KO.
