I'm constantly working my wrestling and jiu-jitsu, which is going to make me more confident in the Octagon.

Constantly moving, from side to side. Keeping your opponent guessing. If you stand still long enough, a wrestler is going to shoot for your legs. He's going to see where your legs are at. But, if you keep him constantly guessing, they can't get a bead on those legs. So, constant movement is probably one of the best takedown defenses you could use.

You can defend a single-leg takedown a little bit easier than you could a double-leg takedown.
