Who has better take downs? More Sucessful rate? between

Matt Hughes
Georges St. Pierre
Sean Sherk

In the second GSP vs Serra fight, it was mentioned that GSP has an 80% success rate when going for the take down, and that he's possibly the best take down artist right now (i'm assuming out of those 3 as well)

Now what was Hughes and GSP's success rate at taking BJ down?


I remember them both having a difficult time taking him down at all, or even getting passed his guard if they did.

I think this speaks towards how effective Sean Sherk will be with his takedown attempts, and what he will do against BJ if he does get BJ down.

Thoughts?

This is a no brainer, GSP.

GSP...if he had trouble getting BJ down, Sherk is in for a long night, i see a BJ KO in this one

GSP. He had trouble taking Bj down at first but then picked him up and slammed his ass. He then proceded to take bj down alot of other times. I don't know if Sherk's takedowns are as good as GSP's. As good of a wrestler as he is, I doubt it. Taking Bj down will be near impossible for the first two rounds

According to fightmetric, GSP also had an 80% takedown success rate against BJ Penn, with 4 successful takedowns in the fight. BJ had a 100% rate, but bear in mind that he only attempted one takedown.
