STRENGTHS

• Wrestling

• Conditioning

• Aggressive style

Scott “Young Guns” Jorgensen is a fast and explosive wrestler with good boxing skills, footwork, and ground-and-pound.

Use Jorgensen’s quick boxing combos and technique strikes to batter his opponents on the feet.

He is a fantastic grappler, so be aggressive with his stand-up and pressure the opponent without fear of being taken down.

Look for his guillotine whenever you manage to stuff the opponent’s takedowns—he can apply crushing chokes from the Sprawl position.

He also has excellent takedown ability himself—shoot in against dangerous strikers to limit their offense and work his dominant top game.

Work at transitioning to improve your position, landing heavy strikes to batter the opponent with his relentless ground-and-pound.

WEAKNESSES

• Kicks

• Clinch striking

• Submissions

Jorgensen is a threat with his hands in the striking game, but his lack of reach and limited kicking ability let rangy, elusive strikers combat him effectively from the outside.

Young Guns also does less damage in the clinch than in other positions, allowing clinch experts the chance to work him over with clinch strikes or grappling.

Though good at defending from the bottom on the ground, he has limited submission ability off of his back, and can therefore be attacked effectively from most ground positions.

There aren’t many holes in his game, but small ones do exist—fight to your athlete’s strengths and strive to beat him with superior technique wherever you decide to combat him.
