Satoshi Ishii osoto gari and ouchi gari in mma work very well for him
What about Rhonda and Kayla. Both women have excellent takedowns. Also, Rhadi Ferguson had great takedowns. Satoshi Ishii and Jimmy Pedro.
Sorry to post again — I caught this yesterday and thought it interesting for Judoka players that still want to compete, outside of the Olympics. I believe this rule set will make Gi very fun for spectators and bring in a new dynamic in sports grappling.

Judo is best for counterattacks
…watch Hector Lombard
Coach I am a big akiyama fan… But in my opinion karo parysian is #2 for judo takedowns in mma. I think akiyamas judo did not translate as well to the cage as karos style.
Akiyama's trip against Shields was just a thing of beauty, he just toyed with him.
what about rounda rousy
Great breakdown of Judo, man! I've been wanting to learn that along with TKD, so I really appreciate your insights. In regards to TKD and anyone wanting to use it in a street fight, buy BARBELL JEANS! You can do full splits and throw any kick you want with no resistance! They look amazing on top of that.
