In your opinion, who's the best wrestler to ever compete while fighting in the UFC? POLL

Stop listing those amateurs when you can list professionals like CM punk and Brock

 

[MikeMcMann]

Chael has no business being in this list.

Sorry but so many of you are blinded by what he did to Anderson.

For MMA wrestling to be elite a key component is the evolution of elite Sub defense. Without that you are limited like the old school wrestling greats were where you can beat guys who do not have an answer to high level wrestling but you lose to those who have high level subs and you simply have no threat to offer them in a fight.

Chael's wrestling is elite, thus why he can beat a lot of guys susceptible to wrestling but his MMA wrestling (what we are talking about) is not elite.

Jesus told me it was Yoel Romero.

I don't believe it. I once got ripped off by a Mexican named Jesus and his homeboy Angel.

Mark Schultz, no competition

 

[Big_Chief_Stove]

Sonnen was an elite wrestler that rag dolled many top contenders including Anderson Silva for 25 minutes.

And if you read the title, I'm asking which fighter you think uses wrestling to his or her advantage to win fights in the UFC the best.

Sonnen vs. Marquardt too

 

[pjmman]

GSP

 

[Big_Chief_Stove]

Mark Schultz, no competition

My thoughts exactly

 

[Big_Chief_Stove]

TRUTH

 

[Big_Chief_Stove]

Mark Schultz should have fought more, he would've been one of the best fighters of all time. Imagine if he learned like a Marcelo Garcia level guillotine and Randy Couture style boxing/dirty boxing....Dude would have been a unbelievable nightmare.

 

[Big_Chief_Stove]

M. Schultz vs. Marco Ruas
M. Schultz vs. Rickson Gracie
M. Schultz vs. Oleg Taktarov
M. Schultz vs. Bas Rutten
M. Schultz vs. Kazushi Sakuraba

it's a travesty that the world didn't get to see these fights, IMO.

 

[SherdogGoat]

GSP or Jones

 

[cheesus]

Your list is missing a fuck load of solid candidates.

 

[gevoudane]

Signed but has yet to fight

Bilyal Makhov will show everyone once he does fight.

He coached wrestling at a college and they didn't want him to fight. Man did he ever show Goodridge wtf was up though
