excellent post Crazy
Linville Rich's style is effective he doesnt usually have any reason to take the fight to the ground. that doesnt mean he isnt well rounded maybe it means his opponents should have better takedowns. We all know that everytime rich gets to the ground he sweeps and/or always improves his position...why do you feel like he has to lay on his back and play guard with his opponent if thats not what he feels comfortable doing? thats a dangerous mode of thinking and you know this because you sited the fact that he chose to bang with Silva...what if he chose to play guard with lutter or even mcdonald?
thatd be silly, keep the fight where your comfortable, well-roundedness is only an insurance for the unexpected situations you have to have the skills but you dont have to use them
and i think most everyone in the big time organizations has paid their dues

I don’t like the attitude of some of the fans who always like to complain. When they say if you had a quick fight that they wished it was longer and if you have a long fight they say you should have beaten this guy quicker. Some people you just can’t please. If it is so easy, they can put on a glove and do it themselves. I’ll watch them fight.
