I have no argument with his credentials. Lashley may be a better wrestler. I'm pretty sure it was at a different weight class though. Forgive me if I'm mistaken, but didn't Lashley compete below 200lbs. as an amateur wrestler? I'm curious to see how well Lashley does when he steps up in class.
This "better cause he wrestled at a higher level" talk is pretty stupid. Folkstyle, Freestyle, and Greco-roman are three completely different sports with different rules and different apexes. It's like comparing apples and oranges. What makes you think Mo is a better wrestler than Lesnar anyway? His D2 National championship? Let me remind you Lesnar is a D1 champion and when Mo moved up to D1 his senior year he didn't even make it to the finals which makes his "4x all American don't mean a thing" all the more laughable.
Spot on, and didn't Lesnar accomplish a **** load more than Lashley in wrestling?...with the amount of roids lashley pumps into him self he will probably be dead by 40.
Screw wrestling. I want to see more Judo/Karate guys in UFC. Makes for a more interesting watch, and they CAN be more effective, especially Judo.
Slowly I think the Judokas will move to MMA. Akiyama and Karo are just the start. Many will follow and I think more guys are slowly embracing trips and throws as they realise how effective they are in stand up grappling.
Meh, just because he may be the better wrestler does not mean he will be more successful in MMA. Speaking of Lashley his career has just been confusing so far. For a 5-0 prospect he is so picky about who he fights. He either wants to fight the champ right now (and he just called out Fedor) or he wants to feast on bums for a while instead of building himself up to earn a titleshot.
