Wasn't that in a tournament though? After fighting once that night already? I'm not the biggest fan of Chuck personally, but the guy ain't the champ this long because his ground game sucks.
Anthony, when you put this together I got goosebumps!

Takedowns are part of grappling. Without a good ground game, you have no take down defense.
Everything is tied together in MMA. the striking is used to setup the shot, the shot is used to get top position, the scramble back up to the clinch is to get back to the ground, or to escape to get back to striking.
MMA is complete fighting.

Well done.
I can't wait to see if UFC ups the ante and signs Cro Cop, I've love to see him fight Sylvia!
