with exception to the very experienced wrestlers in the UFC...
i would like to say that the overall takedown defense SUCKS from MANY fighters, Leban for at this moment
they do not how to properly utilize a wizzer..and dont know how to circle away from a single.
i will be more then happy to give a free clinic to these kids

if leban knew how to defend against single legs...and knew how to circle away from shots and macdonalds power... he might not have been choked out
i dont like leban..i like that he lost...but his takedown defense is about as good as my 14 year old brothers

i guess nobody around here now knows much about take down defense either??
just that nobody wants to hear how much better you are than guys that have actually made it there. let us know once you get your shot.

First of all, it's LebEn. Second of all, you're going to give them a "free clinic"? Who are you again?
i would think the team quest guys would teach it well

Sorry dude...do you really think that they don't train that at Team Quest?
lebens take down defense is pretty solid.. check out a few of his past fights.
Takedown defense is usually sub par in MMA, but then so is a lot of things.
Agreed. A kimura throw is also a great counter to the single leg. I used to do it on guys all the time and it worked pretty much all the time. Just gotta make sure you land on top and don't jack the arm too much after the fact (at least in a wrestling match).
