The program somehow lost at least 4 Lindland takedowns. I have not seen or noticed that ever happen before. The fight did not restart, but Lindland's takedowns sure did. That was the story of this fight. He was getting the takedowns, but not controlling thr ground game. Then suddenly, stat reset, Lindland gets the takedown, then finishes up. Very strange. Lindland's win wasn't, however, as wrestling was totally his key to winning this one, and he needs to remember that in the future - WRESTLE, MATT!!!

The program somehow lost at least 4 Lindland takedowns. I have not seen or noticed that ever happen before. The fight did not restart, but Lindland's takedowns sure did. That was the story of this fight. He was getting the takedowns, but not controlling thr ground game. Then suddenly, stat reset, Lindland gets the takedown, then finishes up. Very strange. Lindland's win wasn't, however, as wrestling was totally his key to winning this one, and he needs to remember that in the future - WRESTLE, MATT!!!
Have 9 points in celebration of this monumental achievement!
