Hey Grappo!

by Chris Hall on Aug 25, 2011 1:55 AM EDT

This will be short and sweet. I need some gif's on some different MMA takedowns for a Judo Chip I really want to do. The inspiration for it is the Cruz/Faber fight where most takedowns resulted where many of Cruz's takedowns (IIRC) resulted in scrambles. What I'm looking for is gifs that illustrate the difference in a takedown that induces a scramble (ie. Cruz/Faber) and a takedown that gains control of a fight (ie. Guida/Pettis). I'm giving a shout out to Grappo here because he has proven to be able to create high quality gifs from recent fights, but if any one else is able to contribute it would be greatly appreciated.

Just for clarification, The basis of my FanPost will be what constitutes a point scoring takedown and how takedowns should be scored in MMA. I want to analyze the scoring between MMA and other grappling arts such as BJJ and wrestling. Slam gifs will be appreciated for their awesomeness, but I believe that's a different conversation altogether and one I'd like to look at after this article.

Thanks in advance to my BE brethren, and if there's anything specific you'd like me to address in this Judo Chip please leave it in the comments.

Note: I would have sent an email to you Grappo, but I didn't see any contact info on your SBNation page.

I'll help out

Not keen on posting my email on here, but you can leave yours, or send me a PM over at Fightlinker.com, or ask one of the staff members here to give you my registration email.

Tyson Griffin vs. Frankie Edgar @ UFC 67 is one of my favorite scramblefests.

Thanks Grappo

I’ll git you up later today when the hangover is gone and I’ve got some time to check out some fights for what I’m looking for. Griffin/Edgar seems like a great start.

If I live in a castle and you want to kill me, storming the gates is probably not the best idea. You'd do a lot better hitting me in the head with a brick when I come out for the mail. -Ryan Hall

She’s on you in an instant and you go down.
