I would have to put the kabash to koschec. The guy didn't even attempt a take down on Sanchez. I realize its only one fight out of a number of fights, but if that is his strong point then why didn't he use it. Good take downs yes, top of the list nooo way.

Couture, definitly a superior take down artist. Others I would give props to is Sherk, Hughes and Jackson of course.

He didn't take BJ down in the first, and if I remember correctly BJ basically went to the ground with him in the second. GSP made Hughes look like a fool shooting on him in their second fight.

That's possibly got something to do with the fact that they are two of the best fighters in the MMA world...

That was the first thought that popped in my head. I love watching him fight. I would definitely consider him one of my favorites. However, when people ask me who I like I rarely think of him. Not sure why.

WEZ JONES, "I can't beleive it took this long before someone mentioned Matt Hughes... when i saw the word 'takedown' I immediately thought of Hughes! He has my vote." I started this thread off by saying Couture and Hughes. "Matt Hughes also has extreme wrestling capabilities and has brought down so many guys as well."

Thats exactly what came to mind when i saw the thread to but i do agree that kos and couture have good takedown ability and definitly karo has the throws

I said Couture as my number 1, i just added after that Hughes was good. I have Couture all the way.
