Wrestling being the best base for MMA is a myth perpetrated by Joe Rogan and his groupies. After UFC on FOX 31, it's obvious what the best MMA base is.
It's selling real estate. There's no writing it off as a coincidence that the two gangsterest fighters ever to grace the octagon have a real estate background: Chael P. Sonnen and Ragin Al Iaquinta.
Before you dismiss my claim, hear me out. This is what a plumbing base will get you:
A judo base:
And of course, a wrestling base:
On the other hand, those that cut their teeth in the hyper-competitive, dog-eat-dog crucible of selling real estate are doing stuff like this:

Dennis: I’ll be providing the money because I’m the breadwinner in the relationship.
Mac: And I’m the trophy husband. He’s my bottom.
Dennis: Oh! Well, I’m the power bottom. Technically, I generate most of the power.
Mac: Only because I’m giving out so much power from the top. You need to generate power to accept it.
I'd say Judo is the best base. Gives a lot of the arsenal wrestling has, especially with hold downs and a serviceable submission game.Nothing is more effective than Wrestling . It can be borinv but a strong takedown defense and offense can get you a lot of wins just by layn pray.
Cro cop also trained like a demon with some of the best wrestlers working almost exclusively on his Take down defense. He has great defensive wrestling and what i'd call 2 dimensional.There is no best base when it comes to MMA. Its about the fighter. Some of the best amateur wrestlers sometimes cannot transition into mma fighters. If you can develop your TDD you can nullify wrestlers. Cro-cop is a great example of this. But a wrestler that can develop striking is also very dangerous.
