Between fighters like, JJ, Holly Holm, Conor McGregor, Dominick Cruz, Luke Rockhold, Carlos Condit, and Wonderboy, it is beginning to appear like the evolution of mma has come to the point where the effectiveness of a wrestling centric base may no longer be feasible. I'm not sure when the shift began, but it's refreshing to see fighters feeling unrestricted in their standup. I realize that there has always been fighters that fought in this manner, but it does seem as if the success has increased.
Noobs, evolution my ass. More like most people who are in the "human ufc" time period are followers. All these thing we are seeing from all the new fighters you mentioned are methods that are forgotten and/or thought to be useless in MMA. The reality is nobody had the confidence in these moves to try them out properly in the UFC. There is no evolution at all. These are all old moves from styles already invented 1000s of years ago.

^^^^^^ That statement is quite mean and I don't really mean it. Just kidding around.
