Some good details on simple things that made Hendricks hard to takedown, and comparrisons between Hendricks and GSP takedown technique.
A post fight study on the wrestling of Georges St Pierre and Johny Hendricks during their UFC 167 title fight.

Probably doesnt matter, but Hedricks is smiling during the pre-fight stare-down ;)
GSP sure took a lot punishment during his failed single leg attempts. Lots of punches, elbows and knees to the face.
These breakdowns are legit.
BJJ Scout is the shit
BJJ Scout is consistently dropping knowledge
i feel like my defensive wrestling jsut got a big boost from those little things. (my wrestling in general is average at best) but love the knowledge bombs they were dropping,
Good advice for going against wrestlers: throw a lot of knees.
That was cool, thanks for posting that!
dope!
Might have been useful trying the barza-gar for Gsp . Instead of trying to force a pipe single leg. Give credit to Hendrix gsp would slip under his cross and go for a shot and Hendrix had the knee locked and loaded.
Great video thanks!
They just released part 2

Sweetch, beat me to posting it. So crazy seeing the detailed differences between a guy that was trained for wrestling basically since birth by his dad like a Spartan (no homo :) EBR), and a guy that wrestled a lot with Olympic wrestlers at a much later ageQuote:

In fact, he heard a statement that GSP was supposed to be the best wrestler in Canada and he said after this fight that is clearly NOT true. The best wrestlers in Canada are at the Burnaby Mountain Wrestling Club according to him. Other details he gave from his perspective from part 1 single leg defense is: Hendricks would put a strong overarm whizzar and shoulder drive when GSP grabbed leg. Hendricks also applied his weight forward and downward on GSP while in this position allowing his back foot to be light enough to make little micro steps and save energy. Also when GSP would try to control the leg with both hands Hendricks would smash his face with his powerful left hand making GSP defend the strikes and give up control of the leg a bit. Hendricks would also be able to use his hand from the whizzar arm to fuck with GSPs hands and open up more strikes. My friend was surprised that GSP did not alter his takedown strategy and kept going back to something that Hendricks clearly had the answer for or had spent a lot of time in practice dealing with. He said BJJ scout does an awesome job describing what was going on and should be doing this for UFC shows like they do for NFL stuff. Apparent Hendricks was just using basic wrestling single leg defense which was made easier because of strikes.
Can't wait to hit the nail and watch part 2.
Must be the timezone difference I was awake when you were Sleeping/At work.Quote:
