Chuck claims ground advantage over Wanderlei (quote)

"People say that if I would take him down, I'd have a big advantage," said the former college wrestler. "But that's not what anyone wants to see. So I'm going to go out there and knock his head off."

End of page 3
I disagree. I haven't seen Chuck in too much adversity with submissions but he hasn't fought many good subs guys.
Wanderlei has decent subs

wand>chuck on the ground from what we have seen in the past and based on their resumes. wand is supposedly a BJJ blackbelt and he had fujita in big trouble with the armbar.

but all that shit doesn't matter. i think these guys are going to settle it with their fists and legs standing.

Yeah. But everytime you mention Wandys bjj bb, there is controversy. You know how he was awarded the belt right? Our kung fu school awards belt like that sometimes, for winning tournements and such, but bjj is not MMA...

Wandy has been in the ring with some of the best ground guys in MMA...Arona..Saku..Yoshida..Tito..so i doubt he's worried about Chucks ground skills..which are non-existant

Yeah, I'm not too sure why Chuck would say that. I'm also not sure who would tell him that he would have a big advantage on the ground. He needs to stop hanging out with those people.

He's talking about takedowns here, not his ground skills.
