UFC 63: Hughes vs. St. Pierre Part Duex

[Lei Tong 0]

I know this might come as a shock but Rashad is a better wrestler then Tito, and is much more accomplished as an amatuer wrestler then Tito ever was.

 

In college Tito was not of note at all really. Liddell is more accomplished than Tito.

 

Tito would certainly have the edge in experience but Rashad is the better wrestler. The question with Rashad is can he capitalize on his wrestling. As I said before, in his last fight he has the guy's back and didn't know what to do with it.

 

I would take Rashad by decision. Although it's hard to say how good Rashad's takedown defense is or his game from the bottom.

 

Mike Whitehead took him down and controlled him for a while, but he was 260lbs (though a pretty doughy 260) and couldn't do much in terms of damage. Imes & Jardine both ended up on top at times too, but only momentarily.

Imes & Jardine both ended up on top at times too, but only momentarily.

 

Evans pulled one of the slickiest moves I've against Jardine when he was mounted.

 

For those who haven't seen the fight, I'll summarize for you, Rashad ended up on top of Jardine.
