Wrestling for MMA. Thoughts??
Hey all...I was wanted to see if i could your thoughts on how important you think wrestling is for MMA. I have heard Joe Rogan say that he thinks wrestling is the most important sport you can do if you want to have a career in MMA. Is it because wrestling teaches a more aggressive style of grappling (vs. BJJ which can be somewhat methodical and slow at times). Is it because wrestling teaches you to never be on your back?? Is it the takedowns?? Does wrestling make your Jiu-Jitsu better?? Is it a better sport to train in than BJJ if you want to have an MMA career???
Thoughts....
