    Oh, I see. Great sprawl = great wrestling.

    I guess, by that logic, a great left hook = great boxing.

    I'm learning so much.

    (Also, sprawling in a cage is a tad bit more difficult than attempting to sprawl in ring for, I hope, obvious reasons. Ahhh, but you already knew that, you're a smart fella!)

    He's using his sprawls to keep it standing. What's so hard to understand that TDD = defensive wrestling? You obviously don't train UFC, brah.

    1) I never said Bro Cop had great wrestling.
    2) Suggested that Wrestling exclusively would complement a good striker.
    3) You're grasping at straws at this point. Quit making up **** I didn't say.
    4)Why are you bringing up cage/ring? How do you know he won't be fighting for M1/KSW? Did he say he wants to fight UFC?

    Wrestling is all you need in this context.

    Wlad said he used to wrestle when he was younger... that's interesting. Imagine if he had amazing takedown defense. That would make for some fun fights. Realistically though... he would get slaughtered. Nothing wrong with that, it isn't his sport.

    I don't see any reason for him to switch over. Unless he wants a new thrill.

    Wlad wraps more money from that Macdonald's paint on the canvas than first half of a UFC card. And he has no hope in MMA.

    Wlads an intelligent man who speaks many languages, has a Phd and still tries to master boxing. He isn't a brute looking for a fight in a macho sense but I'm sure he'd approach it in a way to learn and respect other combatants. Afterall his brother was a kickboxer so I doubt he'd suddenly **** on any other martial art as he has strong links to boxing and kickboxing.

    He can grapple. Lets get this mother ****er in a cage!!!

    Either of the Kilitschkos are the only boxers I'd be interested in seeing stepping into the cage. Would never happen but it would be great if it did.
