It frustrates me to watch jiu jitsu guys lose in mma, which raises a question

I always put it this way. Great BJJ lets you win on the ground, Great Mauy Thai lets you win on your feet, and wrestling lets you dictate where you want the fight takes place, not your opponent.

Shields was a good wrestler, but was not at Div 1 school.

Thanks for the feedback guys, some really goood points, its often the topic of conversation over a beer who has the best combination or what is the best combination and we end up going round in circles

I think you have to consider that jujitsu may not be getting a fair shake because not enough people are adopting no-gi techniques and are still spending time training gi when preparing for MMA. In 10 years the look of jujitsu in MMA may be completely diffident.
