LMAO, yes cause fighters who have trained in MMA from the start have never been hit with flying knees and are much better at takedowns than wrestlers.
Okay funny guy...
Clearly almost no American has trained MMA from the very start as it is a relatively new sport and our profit minded gyms are going to continue the fallacy that it is best to train in multiple different styles and "glue" them all together
MMA literally means mixed martial arts but we should come up with a better name for it because it is its own style now
BJJ+WRESTLING+THAI BOXING trained separately are truly MMA...BUT thats not really a good name anymore
MMA was the old term...we should call it "freefighting" or something else today
I call MMA shooto at my gym
Thats what it really is
The Japanese invented modern MMA in 1984
So I would argue somebody trained in shooto or pancrace from the start would be more effective than wrestlers
Wrestling is going to be relegated to the Dustbin of grappling Sports history in our lifetime...much like sport BJJ
