I think it's known for quite some time that a very strong wrestling base is essential to be a well rounded champ especially defensive wrestling. Someone like Aldo that didn't have a wrestling base, but is very difficult to take down and keep down made him a very dangerous man with his striking. You could argue that someone with elite striking and elite TDD (even against the top wrestlers) would be a difficult opponent for a wrestler with mediocre striking to stop.
