acouple of interesting clips for digestion.

The first one impressed the hell outa me - niche fighter
The second and third are good examples imo of fighters that require better skill rounding when stepping into a new game, i.e. boxing->kickboxing, prowrestling->NBH . (He says playing the armchair expert ;) )

woww...the first clip was pretty cool and impressive.......do you know if the guy ever strikes?? looks like he can just catch his opponent's legs everytime....

the 3rd clip was kinda stupid imo....the boxer could barely get in any punches because everytime he got into range he would get kicked....the fight just seemed pointless....

I reckon too.

Just proves how many hours this guy put in to pull off such a takedown most of the time and not land prone. There is another good clip where he mistimes/telegraphs the shot and gets KO'ed by a clean knee to the head, most of the time however this move serves him well.

Guess I'm a sucker for Sambo type leg sweeps, I have always been impressed by them just for the shock value of 'where the hell is this guy coming from, oops on on my ass and locked out'.
