Weird seeing those two together, two completely different generations of fighting

[@dylancrozier9673]

[@thomasmacdonough288]

That's the beauty of grappling is 'out of prime' fighters can still stay competitive with younger guys

[@stevenellerbee686]

Sean surprised me. That guillotine was perfect. Takedown defence on point. He worked pretty well in the clinches. His ground game is a lot more solid than I thought.

[@larsmonsen88]

I mean all he does is smoke weed and roll with the juiced up ginger:P Hes bound to have some base.

[@RobustCarrotFarmer]

he started his mma career in jiujitsu

[@bigMboi25]

Sean always had decent ground game. He showed a little bit of this when he was on the Dana White's contender series awhile back. And he also came from a jiujitsu background. I think people don't really know this about Sean because Sean has not really utilized that skill to fight from the ground. He mostly has done fights straight up.

His fight with Yan proved that, Yan is a savage. I have an insane amount of respect for Sean after that fight.

I'm 5'4 and would love to agree with you and I did do great in both wrestling and grappling but tall guys get alot of leverage and could be in trouble depending on the situation. Tall guy sprawls and his legs are far away. Can also reach and grab a leg easily with length of the reach. I don't think there's any connection between the 2.

His main gym for many years is known for grappling and wrestling... Quintet is fun to watch! Created by famous retired fighter Sakuraba. 5 person teams, a total weight limit for each team.
