Great video. Most people seem to think the single-leg takedown is inferior in MMA, but Shields uses it regularly and effectively. He used it against Miller and Hendo, and even against an Olympian like Askren in this video. He was giving Ben all he could handle in this video, but Askren has a lot of potential.

If he gets he clutches on Kampmann I don't think he'll have any trouble getting him down and sticking to him like velcro. Martin can win this fight but he really has to stay mobile, and try to frustrate Shields by making him pay every time he wades in close, then jumping out of range again.
