Originally posted by starjammer View PostWhat do people mean when they say 'double leg'. Is that a takedown?
Put it this way, if I was an MMA fighter facing a boxer, I'd rather have a really powerful double leg than be great in the clinch.

Couture is vulnerable at the stand-up fight, while Toney will be at a disadvantage on the ground even though he weighs more.
Toney needs to come forward and be aggressive with his punches to win.
Fight Science recorded Toney as having 1300lbs++ of punching power whereas Couture recorded with measly 1000lbs. This is evidence to me that Toney is much stronger, either that or simply has much better punching technique

Originally posted by etlux View PostI think it's basically when you grab both of somenoe's legs and lift them in order to make the guy fall and take him down. One of the trademark moves to take someone down in mmaOriginally posted by sunthunder View PostIt's a takedown from range where you shoot low under your opponents hands and take their legs out from under them. It's a great weapon to have in MMA. Randy is primarily a greco-roman wrestler which is largely throws from the clinch, which of course requires Randy to close the distance. He's shown some good double legs before, but it's not as prevalent a part of his game as a fighter like Brock Lesnar.

Good luck, Mr Toney...
