Depends; Kron's cousin got the ever loving **** beat out of him by a mediocre wrestler. http://vodpod.com/watch/3012310-ufc-109-rolles-gracie-vs-joey-beltran-video And no, I don't think Kron has the best BJJ in the world, I think Drysdale, Xande, Popovic beat him pretty easily no-gi and Roger, Cyborg, Braulio, Xande and others very easily beat him in a gi. In the sense of if you are going to go into MMA with only one skillset, then I could see BJJ being the best, as it gives you the best chance of finishing.
A great wrestler gets to control where the fight takes place. On the feet or on the ground. Probably the biggest style advantage you can have in a fight. Also... having a good wrestling base makes for an easy transition into BJJ. It doesn't work the other way around. Ever notice how many great BJJ guys there are who can't ever get the fight to the ground? It's a big drawback.
this is nonesense! what about the wrestler who cant take his opponent down? what about the striker who knocks down his opponent the wrestler, and then simply pounds him out? what about the wrestler like coleman whos only chance is to go to the ground with a guy like fedor or nog and then promptly gets submitted? stop repeating the same joe rogan bull****!
Widdow was an accomplished amateur wrestler in Ohio hes not some Zuffa zombie or some **** like that he knows whats hes talking about.
