Josh Koscheck and GSP use takedowns all the time but actually do something with them. Maynard barely threw anything when he was on the ground on top. Next to no submission attempts either.
Well he tried some chokes, but i mean, Clementi was in full ground defense mode once he was taken down. Tucking his head under Maynards arms. Not getting hit. That was a control fight. Thats what it was all about. I didnt expect bombs to be thrown by either once it was on the ground and Clementi sure as hell wasnt throwing any on his feet.
