Why have there been so less elite pure wrestlers at LW?

3 out of the 5 welterweights don't even fight in the UFC. Try again
 
Except for that one Russian guy...I think he's the champ even...Kevin Lee...ummm who else ahh nevermind...

TS prepare yourself to get lit up.

GSP has no wrestling background yet he's arguably the best mma wrestler ever.
 
Pure wrestlers at LW?

Better effective wreslters in MMA competition?


Nobody really cares about the first question
 
WW: Woodley, Colby, Kos, Hendrix, Askren
LW: Maynard
-Past.. Sherk, Benson, Castillo, Thompson, Edgar, Roller

-Current.. Gregor, Chandler, Ferguson, Lee, Girtz, Trujillo, (I could put Khabib, but he is similar to GSP, in that he doesn't have the Wrestling pedigree or accolades as a youth or am, but he's one of the best in MMA at it)

lee haven't achieved much in wrestling
Lee went 37-0 as a Senior in college, and qualified for the National Tournament, after only starting Wrestling during his Jr yr of HS.
 
Ferguson was a 3 time state champ and national champ in NCWA
 
I forgot to put Matt Veach, in my initial post.. went to ask the wife if she could think of anyone and that's one of the names she mentioned.
 
* fewer elite wrestlers
