BJJ v wrestling

which is the better for MMA

 

If all you can know is one of these arts, it's BJJ.

But great wrestling with a working knowledge of BJJ is better than the other way around imo.

 

the thing is its hard to get decent wrestling training in the UK. Yeah there are olympic level wrestlers teaching in MMA gyms but they are few and far between.

 

Depends on the organization. UFC should be renamed UWC: Ultimate Wrestling Championships. A few takedowns and the match is yours.

Pride back then was focussed more on damage done than wrestling. I think some of the other orgs are the same.

 

If UFC allowed knees to the head on the ground it would help wrestlers gnp a lot more though. It's hard getting a finish on the ground with 5 minute rounds as well with just punches and elbows which may not be possible if you don't have long arms.

Coleman-Igor anyone :hey

 

As always, the answer is : Depends.

And headbutts. Coleman and Kerr would have been undefeated with headbutts and knees on the ground.

 

for me i think BJJ is better guys like Mir proved that ith ho good they are working off their backs

 

for defense bjj, for offense wrestling... fighters need solid defense first and foremost so logically its bjj however once your bjj is at a certain standard wrestling should then take priority.

 

I know bas said the same thing with regard to Kerr. It sure changes the guard game alot
