Just watch his fight with lil nog if you think his takedowns are "suspect". they won him the fight.
Oh yeh with statements like the following noone will take you seriously.

i didn't notice this till now.
shogun lands a lot of leg kicks, but have you ever seen anyone limp as a result of shogun's leg kicks? Maybe lil nog, but lil nog trained pretty much orthodox boxing for his standup, and the boxing stance is incredibly prone to leg kicks. there's an awesome boxer at our gym, his hands are way better than mine, but i can hang with him just because of how ackward his kick defense is because of his boxing stance
lil nog has terrible wrestling, and so does his brother. yes, i'm familiar they have black belts in GI judo, but that doesn't really mean much. if you can't transition it to mma, it's meaningless.
as far as wanderlei is concerned- the old wanderlei would have gotten killed by chuck. rushing in with his chin way up, he would have gotten the babalu treatment. you dont rush in with loopy punches and your chin pointed at the cieling against a counter puncher.
do you people not train any standup? any boxing? any muay thai?
