I don't think as a fighter he's as well-rounded as most of the younger guys are these days, he's somewhat more one-dimensional (again that is anecdotal, i'm not THAT familiar with him as a fighter to say that his ground game sucks or anything)

Phil isn't awful on the ground but he isn't great either. He has as many submission wins as losses if that means anything. Phil has always had an issue with taking punches. He has the benefit of being able to catch anyone, anywhere, anytime and KO them, but has the crutch of being able to be caught by anyone, anywhere, anytime and being put to sleep.
