Tito Ortiz demonstrates takedown technique to MMAWeekly.com

[ers713]

0:48 trying to backhand slap him

[Gzail]

WOOOW WOOOOOW, ok im a wrestler who went to mma, and i did my doublelegs just like tito, because when i came in i was already aware of guillotine. Coach said its wrong... im pissed now.

The moral of the story do what you think is right, nod to your coach do it a couple of time like he wants it, and compare. but in the end use your own instinct.

[jobowtackmasterx]

what the....???!!!

[No7oriouSx]

more slo mo than mtv cribs up in this bitch

[1234rickman]

his face was sinking into that guys fat ha

[100isthebest]

You guys shut up. You think you know everything. Tito is an elite wrestlers so stop talking shit about the technique.

[JohnnyBoyCali]

@100isthebest He's a very accomplished wrestler but this is a very confusing takedown and most of us who do MMA were taught differnetly. At 0:07 he does a very high takedown and thats why he would get caught in a guillotine. I mean if you look at his head hes right underneath the guys arm pit and practically asking for a guillotine. I was taught to take people down very low and take out the legs. Hes attacking their upper body which is very strong and would be harder to take someone down

[retwolf22]

@JohnnyBoyCali hes going after the legs.

[Gzail]

@JohnnyBoyCali high is better, or lets say its cool to do it high now. Look Cain and Bader. especially Bader.

im going with the high now. I told ppl at my gym to look for guillotines as i takedown, my feeling high is better.

But it has a lot to do with ones build. I suggest you do the same. Just spar for takedowns and the defending guy looks for guillotine.

[MMARawRyan]

Takedown technique...haha? That has got to be the worst take down technique ever!!! I think I will go watch some high school wrestlers instead Tito... they got more to offer.

[TheChoochMagooch]

WTF?!?!? I lmao when he just pushed the guy down with his head LOL

[JoeyFudd]

Tito says he's a submission fighter all the time. Too bad he never proves it in the octagon. He's good with overweight tackling dummies in street clothes? C'mon. That takedown is a good way to break your nose or neck. Look at GSP, who uses the head to the side well without getting choked. See the video "Takedowns."

[Caboose1428]

right between his tits

[berner]

00:23 - "OM NOM NOM NOM NOM NOM NOM!!!"

[Svittidiu]

This takedown looks completely retarded.

[jjjoestar]

is he kidding right?

If the other guy puts is arms up (as always during a fight) how can you do this move ??

[eltulkas]

@jjjoestar someguys have very good timing, for example check out fights of gsp

[fireguysith]

will this work if the person your trying to take down is leaning forward?? It also seems like you would end up getting a knee to the face. Is there a way to avoid that??

[mbd009]

Did Tito just moterboat that guy?

[Mario1057]

Jenna taught him that move. She has lots of experience with takedowns, mounts, and submissions.

[gohuskers2013]

@Mario1057 ha good one

[mathdavies2176]

@Mario1057

HAha...... this comment made me choke on my rice crispies.... sweet.

[jamiegward1984]

ow face... XD

[MonickerManiac]

motorboating :22 Lol

[Poffpoffpass]

fuck u tito

[artazan99]

@Poffpoffpass best comment ive seen yet :)

[Goalie002]

With a head that big its like being hit by a log

[silkyjohnson123]

i prefer judo take downs=]

[cptprice14]

@silkyjohnson123 i dont unless youre really good. because i know judo uses to rules of physics and motion so that you can throw ppl 3 times ur size but dude in a real fight good luck doin that. i actually prefer just striking. i wrestle and do jiu jitsu but boxing and muay thai are what i really like

[mr1derful112]

all u haterz need to shut the fuk up, tito would whoop your ass and u know it,

[DJJimCowley]

tito is only a fucking waste of space cant wait 2 c chuck beat the life out o him again

[Jsabzx]

tito is a bitch he talks to much shit.

[delaseoul87]

great way to break your nose, or get shoved off. All you have to do to counter this is post out with your forearms against his face, pushing his head back. Hey Tito, did you know that where the head goes, the body follows?

[TheFlood92]

hey last time i checked you never fought in the ufc... so shut up

[delaseoul87]

and you know what about me? Classic ad hominem (google it if you don't know what it is). You know nothing of my martial arts experience, especially with grappling, not to mention the fact that I have trained with Rashad Evans and his old grappling coach Matt Torres. So please, do tell me what to do.

[TheFlood92]

@delaseoul87 I don't care if you trained with anderson silva, gsp, and brock lesnar all in one day, about every guy in here can come in and say some stupid shit like that and expect people to believe them. Say you did train with Rashad, you still do not know how to wrestle as well as tito. I gurantee you that he would break your soul in a wrestling match so please... don't be a keyboard warrior

[delaseoul87]

of course he would, I fight at 155.

[TheFlood92]

@delaseoul87 oh im sorry, I didn't understand you were a midget. Even if you were a big boy and fought at 225 he would still out-wrestle you. Don't use your size as an excuse. I'm talking about technique

[kingshahine]

he could drop all his muscle to get to aboutr 155

and he would still kill you

[kingshahine]

i hope you are a wrestler btw.

you won't break your nose because you are doing it with your forehead.

its a hard move because

1. you must be very powerful/explosive

2. you must have a strong neck, weak neck is no good

[mikestylz96]

wow i xpected better from tito i dont think that face in the gut will work. whats w/ tito goin for submissions. thats not how he ends fights.

[blazinbleezies]

Tito is strong but has always had poor wrestling and this idiotic takedown only confirms it.Any real wrestler would laugh their ass off at this moron's pathetic technique.

[hhhsucks92]

yeah what a morron hes only won a ufc title with them pathetic takedowns dick head

[kingshahine]

his wrestling was overrated.

but its still not bad

[bodylock88]

@blazinbleezies look up stephen neal moron. The man won a world title and was known for his blast double. I dont think many "real wrestlers" would laugh at him

[cpick26]

the japanese double leg

[ConnorIsSuperRad]

It's called a "bully" takedown.

[15879604]

you really need to have a solid foundation of neck conditioning before you go doing this but it can work well

[currymunchacallcenta]

hahaha Tito loves them titties..

[knowpain00]

I'm assuming that this takedown is specifically for MMA.....

Because in high school or college wrestling....you can keep your head low and drive forward...than shuffle to the side..But I wouldnt recommend shoving my face into the opponents gut...because if you miss the takedown, then you, yourself will be wide open for the takedown when you get to recover position and try to pop back up!....or even worse, your wide open for strikes and knees while trying to pop back up...It could get ugly fast.

[BRUCE9O9MJH]

its called the power double people rarley do it but it works.

[knowpain00]

Yep, and I would say that this particular takedown could work against Forrest Griffin next week....simply because Griffin has turned into a great "kickboxer"...but unfortunately, not a great "Mixed Martial Artist"......The wresling takedowns is what is going to beat Griffin......It should be a good one though !!

[dmai20]

wtf? you'll break your nose.

[Fildgosh]

wtf?

[woohoofun333]

lmao chuck liddell fucked him up so bad

[bnaji]

no disrespect to you woohoofun, but it'll take an army of you to be taken seriously by tito. so i wouldn't be laughing if i were you

[woohoofun333]

first of all....you don't know me? second of all i never said i was a better fighter than him i never said i was a 5 time ufc light heavyweight champion i never said ANYTHING about me taking him. all i said is that i find it funny that he couldn't even make a fight with chuck liddell. goddamn so no disrespect to YOU, but RE-LAX.

[didUhaveNorgazm]

I think you might hurt your neck going straight at the belly like that. It might be better if he kept the neck straight and did a head but with the crown impacting the solar plexus while the arms sweep out the legs.

[FGGWHELL]

HAHA yeah Tito rub your face all over his belly

[mrprinskorv]

titos head is so big he would knock someone out

[Z1MMZ]

id grab his back and and hed be screwed then and anyone with abbs wouldnt get winded so...you could just put ur head beside hes thigh then u dont get gilatined lol

[mr1derful112]

this is all slow motion ya stupid fucks, Go tell Tito he cant shoot a double and see what happens whe his head hits your stomach so hard he knocks the breathe out of you

[kr3w1030]

this is the most bodylosher takedown ever.

[smit919ballersclick]

best way to get kneed.... perfect example thanks tito....

[brandoman42]

can u do better ???

[vpdp0001]

yeah, Tito has no idea how to fight....rofl

[Iceyeye]

Never seen an armbar so poorly started...terrible form.

[bjjartist]

its a demo of the takedown. the armbar is just an option.

[Fille2P]

stupid fatboy think he is something when guillotines GO ON DIET FATTY GO ON A DIET!!!!!!

[homersimpsonrules1]

Well when you go into liddells gut it probly cushions the blow lol

[artazan99]

@homersimpsonrules1 haha ur funny thats why liddell is one of the best fighters ever right asshole and thats why ortiz sucks now

[omgomglollolmfao]

@artazan99 are you serious!? have you been paying attention to Liddell's fights lately? He's lost his last three fights by Knockouts and Ortiz last losses have come by decision

[15leighton]

if he went into some one like liddel's stomach like that he'd knock himself out

[EricMCKiller]

I agree with all four of you. Shits weak.

[JackMacyntire]

Seems a lot easier to defend against.

[voskuijl88]

only possible with a head like ortiz

[szablshit]

thats probaly the worst double leg i have ever seen
