Not always. Marcelo's tapped many a wrestler.

i don't understand how you can consistently keep posting garbage during a period where half the forum are calling for your eviction

Great thread. I think you hit it on the head when early on when you talked about the evolution of the different fighting styles. IMHO although the wrestler can be hard to deal with due to their takedowns and control I think it forces you to improve your game to overcome theirs, which for me personally is a good thing to always try to evolve and improve.

Oh yeah dude. There's a lot of evidence that shows wrestling is the best base for MMA. Some of my favorite fighters are wrestlers. I'm just saying some fighters need to learn to train to avoid getting wrestle fucked to decision. I'm not against wrestlers. I'm against styles that make for boring fights. And I'm also for balanced fights. I wanna see some more evolution. Originally Posted by James Bell

They learned to use boxing to set up takedowns or get KO's of their own. Look at Cain! I just want to see the BJJ and strikers evolve again. Stir things up. I'm not anti wrestler. I'm just anti wrestlefuck styles.

Is this 1993? If were talking about MMA. Then were talking about Grappling and Striking. We shouldn't be talking about Jiu Jitsu vs. Wrestling. The continuing Evolution of MMA! If your a Grappler you should be combining all forms of Grappling. Judo, BJJ, 10th Planet, Freestyle wrestling, Greco roman wrestling, Sambo etc. If your just a Jiu Jitsu guy then you're Old School! Your not Evolving!!!(Gracie's)!!! Jiu Jitsu guys have to work their wrestling!!! Depending on your wrestling coach, your teammate's, how much your drilling...you can catch up and beat "most" wrestlers at their own game in MMA or at least stuff their takedowns. GSP.
