or both? he was very well rounded for that time. had very good striking( but lacked KO power) and had great TDD, and good submission defence. He was injured in his fight with Saku but couldnt be taken down in that fight( and we all know Saku's single leg takedown) or scrambled right back up. He barely trained when he fought Arona( he lost his girlfriend at that time) but yet almost KO'ed him, and stopped most of his takedowns as well. Imo he should have won those fights. He also knocked down Wanderlei and Liddell; who were very dominant at that time..
