Ask failed boxer turned superstar kickboxer turned MMGAY star Mirko "Cro Cop" Filipovic.Cro Cop was athletic enough to develop some great takedown defense which he was noted for during his prime.He remained a striker,but his takedown defense allowed him to snuff the best shoots from some legitimate top class wrestlers like Mark Coleman and Kevin Randleman.
Here is frank shamrock's opinion

Not only did cro cop develop an awsome take dow defense but he also developed enough wrestling/ju jitsu skills to defend himself if he did get taken down. But if you watch his match against raining world HW champion Fedor you will see how easy it can be for a Wrestler/Grappler/Ju Jitsu fighter to nutrilize world class striking.
BJ Penn also has an awsome take down defense as well as his Rubber Gaurd that has nutrilized so many wrestlers over the years that you have no choice but to stand up with the guy.
