UFC 200 Judo Chop - Sprawl and Maul: The Striking of Joanna Jedrzejczyk and Jose Aldo

In a weekend positively riddled with exciting matchups between elite martial artists, Jose Also and Joanna Jedzrzejczyk stand out. Both of them face superb opponents, both of whom will attempt to use their top-notch wrestling and grappling to control, confuse, and clobber the elite kickboxers on the ground. Fortunately for Jose and Joanna, this is not an unprecedented type of threat--and not just because both of their fights are rematches. Two of MMA's most well-respected strikers--Aldo is very likely the greatest of all time in that regard--they are used to the threat of the takedown, and both have developed a variety of tactics for combating it.
