You say to beat a wrestler you must be a wrestler right??

Not always. A great striker with high level takedown defence even without a wrestling background is effective. Guys like Aldo, Whittaker, Barao, Joanna, BJ Penn did not have wrestling backgrounds and then there's GSP who has the best wrestling in the UFC without a wrestling background.

Conor has to be in this discussion imo

Rumble is a wrestler though.

 

[boingyman]

GSP because he would beat wrestlers at their own game in a division stacked with wrestlers in the top 5.

Crocop was wrestlers nightmare in Pride. Watch him vs coleman or waterman

I thought Eduardo Dantas did an awesome job shutting down the wrestling of Joe Warren in the second fight. In the first fight, he struggled a lot with it and lost the fight. In the second fight, it wasn't so much his TDD buty his movement that made it so the Baddest Man could barely even get a shot in. I think he only really did a couple of times and was stuffed.

Some guys are just good at derailing wrestlers hype and ability.

1. Jon Jones is for me the biggest Anti-wrestler on all levels from All-Americans to Olyampians. Vlad mats, Rashad, Sonnen, Bader, Hamill, O'Brien, and Cormier these are all elite wrestlers.

2. Robbie Lawler his been taking out many wrestlers lately

3. Chuck Lidell

4. Aldo


Nobody else comes to mind right now?

The irony is that to be an "anti-wrestler", one has to learn some aspect(s) of wrestling. The first guy on your list is an all-american wrestler.

This thread needs to begin and end with Jose Aldo. He's the best.

I will never understand these psychofan dickriders of 1 fighter.
