This guy was a 2000 Olympic Silver medalist in freestyle.  And yes, terrible tdd.

This one is Tysonesque:

@krazyhopz, most likely because he's Cuban and 34 years old.  Oh, and ony 4 fights, all T/KO, two of those were retirements.  Here's the link to the article on mmajunkie:  http://mmajunkie.com/news/24430/olympic-medalist-yoel-romero-eyes-ufcs-light-heavyweight-title.mma

34  to only have 4 fights isnt very solid. But as krazyhopz siad he could be very good these next few years.

I agree, that wasn't bad TDD, it was just so quick. I missed it the first time, had to rewind and watch it again to even see what he did. Lightning fast ankle pick.

I would bet that the guy he was fighting was a pure striker with very little/no wrestling experience.  I'm sure that his stance played a major factor in the ease of it, and stance is a big part of tdd.
