Didnt randy beat almeida with a wrestling move. jj vs wrestlin
billy914 - Those results were all MMA fighters beating other MMA fighters anyway, not simply wrestling vs BJJ. Look at the context.
Story beat Hazelett with strikes
Guida broke Anjos' jaw standing
Hughes set up the choke with a punch
Fitch is actually a higher grade in jiu jitsu than Alves so no idea what that result proves in terms of wrestling vs BJJ. Alves' striking is his main attribute.
Story controlled position and prevented takedowns using wrestling
Guida sat through on a pin and cranked the head off.
Hughes worked a perfect Dave Schultz choke from a staple position in wrestling: the front headlock.
There are no takedowns in BJJ and Fitch controlled the fight using takedowns.
In MMA, BJJ without wrestling is like like having bullets without a gun.
So many here have never rolled with a wrestler in their own sport. Go against a 132lb state champ wrestling rules only and see how many times you get pinned in 10 minutes.
actually I've found starting off the feet is less physical than off the knees - i can handle bigger more powerful types better off the feet because i have more mobility.
this is in judo mind you
