The sport is evolving
UFC and other American mma promotions are doing everything in their power to advantage the American wrestler because they want "all american champs" so they can sell swag to the fake wrestling NASCAR fanboys [smart business]
Wrestlers have lots of terrible habits that leave them vulnerable to good knee artists and the best submission guys
the most accomplished wrestlers are NEVER gonna be that good in mma and just get "fluffed" up for the slack jawed fanboys
These athletes have spent so many years learning to perfect their "sport grappling" they are ultra specialists
[just like SPORT BJJ guys]
profit minded gym owners push the fallacy that training in 5 different martial arts / sports = the ultimate mix for MMA
The fact IS specialists are getting pushed out of MMA
Wrestlers days are numbered
Just like the BJJ days of yore...lol
wonder when we will actually have MMA training in the USA
NOT
Muay thai + BJJ + wrestling = MMA
there are a lot of wrestlers who are simply holding on the the underbelly of MMA as their sport is slowly absorbed
desperately clinging on to MMA for relavance
the bad news is....
the ride is gonna get tougher!!!
