I'm getting ready for an MMA fight and my opponent is a tall one. I'm 5'10 225 lbs and he is 6'3 225lbs. He is a kickboxer mainly and I'm more of a wrestler. I need some advice of covering some ground to get into takedown range without eating too much leather. Also if anyone has any gameplan advice I could possibly use. I have a little over a month to get ready.

go in fast off of the initial bell....be looking directly at his legs and have your head down, let him know you are going directly for the fast tackle takedown without any hesitation or set up. Telegraph it really well so he can get ready to sprawl. Now "feint" the takedown by dropping levels and going fairly far down in a fast manner as you are running in. When he sprawls out, you quickly raise your level back up (at the same time he's going down) and reach behind his head and snap his head "down in the hole" and attain a position where your chest is on the back of his head and your arms are controlling his torso. Smash him down further if you can. Don't bother going for the guillotine while he is so fresh unless you are good at it and it's VERY open. Attain a body lock with both of your arms encircling his torso below his arm pits. Now lock your hands together and "roll him" onto his back as he try's to rise up and struggle out of the lock, and then mount him at the same time as you roll him.

There is no shortcut, you'll need to work on your clinch entries. You want to be in the clinch and work to take him down, and he wants to keep it standing. You have to have good head movement and be a hard target to hit as you enter in. You cant shortcut this, you need to drill it alot in sparring and work on not getting hit and closing the distance. There are plenty of specific clinch entry techniques, but instead of naming different techniques you can do I'll just say work what you know a whole lot in drilling.. with the main goal of obtaining a clinch or a takedown without taking damage on the way in. Good luck in your training! Let us know how the fight goes.
