Bas is a great trainer, but a legit take down defense for him is still a few years off. He's 34, Antonio Silva is only 29 and has had a ground game since birth (Brazilian Birthright, lol.), lol. So Elite's HW future resides in Antonio's lap once Shaw figures a way to promote him.

By the way V Tunnel FTW!! Take that Mr. IT guy, lol.
It doesn't take years to learn how to sprawl.
But it does take time to know how to utilize it effectively. Especially if you're going against a skilled grappler who has ways to negate the sprawl. Call it how you want. I say Kimbo is at least 2 years off from knowing how to effectively sprawl to compliment his striking like Liddell does. And Liddell was a collegiate level wrestler long before he became a super striker.
