If it's true, this fight just went from winnable to unwinnable for Thompson.

This is an interesting fight. What will happen first? A takedown? or a knockout. Burrell has a good ground game and as we saw in his last fight, Wonderboy's ground game is horrible.

Burrell will easily out grapple Wonderboy and I think he will probably out strike him

If Wonderboy hurts Nah-shon while standing, Nah-shon could shoot a takedown from across the cage and Wonderboy wouldn't stop it.

Big fan of Nah-shon since SF...hope he gets the W here. Thompson does worry me a bit though because Burrell got stopped by Spang who has a kind of similar striking style to Wonderboy.

Unfortunately think this is a bad match-up for Wonderboy ... would have loved to see a classic Karate vs. Muay Thai battle.

Anyone that knows how to physically wrap their arms around the lower half of a human's body while driving forward is a bad matchup for Wonderboy.

Wonderboy pretty much has 3 chances to win this fight. Each round's starting bell to the time that Burrell decides to go for a takedown.

Saying that Wonderboy has a horrible ground game implies that he has a ground game. Anyone who can in one fight completely discredit an entire martial art really deserves a category of their own.

-Exceptional
-Amazing
-Great
-Good
-Improving
-Needs work
-Average
-Poor
-Awful
-Diabolical

@jaff- shouldn't their be something for Matt Brown? He didn't submit him in a three round fight. So where is Brown's ground game on your rankings?

Matt Brown seems like a guy who is probably very efficient in the gym but when it comes to fighting he lets emotion get the best of him and technique goes out the window to an extent.

His last 4 losses have been by submission in the 2nd round so I dunno. Maybe just less **** you ************ I'm gonna kick your ass and more smart game planning? Who knows...

I don't think Wonderboy's ground game is that awful, he didn't get submitted by Matt Brown after all.

I do think his performance against Matt Brown was the worst show of wrestling in UFC history. People can get ankle picks on Wonderboy, that's how bad his wrestling is. Brown was shooting single legs at shin level and getting them bahaha. BAAAAAAD.

I agree his wrestling is awful but getting ankle picked or taken down by low singles doesnt equate to bad wrestling. However Matt Brown doing those things is bad lol

@Live2wrestle In MMA, getting ankle picked and single-legged from the shins is awful. Those takedowns almost never work in MMA fights for a reason; they just don't integrate themselves into MMA. It's like getting a twister on someone, it just doesn't happen for a reason.
