I'd disagree. DC was emotional and gassed trying to force a takedown early instead of boxing Jon up first. When he was exhausted, Jones took him down. DC got the last takedown. Neither guy dominated the other in that fight, especially in wrestling, DC fought stupid though and lost because of it.
Nope. Chris got him down twice. Sure Yoel got back to his feet shortly, but still. Very impressive.
The thread is about wrestlers who dominated another wrestler, Jon may have got the better of DC but he didn't dominate him. I wrestled over a decade, there's a difference between dominating and edging someone out. Wrestling is more than just takedowns, and neither guy controlled the other in that fight. It was closely contested throughout.
Now that was domination. So much more impressive in hindsight too, Bader is no slouch.
He was an Olympian for crying out loud, but his defense has been notoriously bad in MMA, no doubt.
That was the best Rashad there's ever been IMO
He did spam takedowns because of what Jon said when they first met. DC fought to prove his wrestling was better right out the gate, which was a bad move in the cage. DC probably thrashes him on the mat but in the cage Jon had a lot of defensive advantages that his length boosted like using the wall and strikes to the body. The shame of it was that DC was boxing Jon up when he got close but he was so focused on the takedown that it ruined his best chance at winning and Jon won the grind from there.
