It just wouldnt work... like I started from a boxing back ground...and believe me when I tell you, their is nothing you can learn in a boxing gym to help you stop the takedowns of a competent wrestler. Then once its on the ground its all over...not to mention, leg kicks will stop anyone. I know from the outside looking in people see leg kicks and think "that dosent hurt, its just a leg kick". But believe me that shyt is just as bad as being punched in the body, matter fact its even worse.This is Urijah Fabers leg after taking 10-15 leg kicks from Aldo...he had to use crutches for a couple weeks lol
