It should be much better then it is, but I have seen him get taken down by most of his opponents, some who had no business taking him down. Rusimar is a lil Brazilian Tank of muscle. He is very short so he will have leverage on his side with every takedown. Palhares has some of the best take downs I have ever seen out of a Jits guy. I understand why the safe pick is to say that Hendo WONT be taken down, but you guys wait and see.... UPSET SPECIAL!!!!! As much as I like Hendo, I think his takedown defense is grossly over rated!

It changed to being focused so fast! Like he just flicked a mental switch, and then knocks the guy down by hitting him in the arm! Great stuff.

He does not just rely on his wrestling although he does posses some of the most explosive takedowns in the division, he is pretty technical with his strikes and we know he can kick. He may not be at the level as Chuck when it comes to striking, but that doesn't mean that Chuck couldn't get caught. People may well be looking at the way Chuck destroyed Silva, but they also need to remember that Silva had no game plan, he just stood in front of Chuck and decided to bang with no strategy or without any intention of avoiding much of Chucks punches. He paid the price for that, and make Chuck look good in the process. I really do not see Rashad being so stupid. He is tough enough and skilful enough to give Chuck a hard time wether people give him credit or not. I believe he will be able to take Chuck down, it's keeping him down that will be difficult. If he can do that, I can see him getting a descision win. If Rashad comes to fight intelligently, I can see him taking this, if he decides to stand and trade or do that annoying jumping around and waving of the hands that he does which will only score him points in a dancing competition, then he will definately lose. I see this fight being better than the majority think, and I could easily see being an upset by descision. I really do not expect Rashad to stand there and let his face get smashed like Silva did.

That's when Chuck starts in with his sniper-like strikes over the top and straight up the middle. Let's hope that Rashad has a better plan.
