Is american wrestling getting useless?

[Bangkok ready d1]

Kinda think about it there are very fell fighters that come from a college background and are using wrestling as their main weapon in the highest level. Of champions i think usman is the only one right now and even him is favoring a more striking aproach lately, seems like the truly heavy grapplers are the caucasian ones only they seem to be truly heavy on it in 2021.
Is american style wrestling basically dying in the mma scene?

 

[El Panteron]

Dying? Like more than half of ALL the fighters are Americans and a good chunk of them wrestlers.
Usman is the most dominant champion UFC has and he's an American style wrestler, Sterling was a collegiate wreslter too.

One single discipline can't fucking dominate everything forever, doesn't mean it's dying. Just as BJJ didn't die.

Guess some of you are more triggered by this being an American thing.

Oh shit weirdo D1 wrestler is going to be all over this.

 

[Flammenwerfer]

Everyone's defence has evolved so unless you're a lot stronger than your opponent or from Russia wrestling isn't effective

 

[13Seconds]

Hell no.

And Usmans level of wrestling is what makes his striking so dangerous. Colby couldn't take him down for shit and Mas expected a takedown when he got KO'd.

Bad thread.

As well he should be.
This is a terroristic attack on Dan Gable's legacy. And we cant have this. We WONT have this.

From watching ufc for an idea about wrestling since I don't watch it for the Olympics, it seems that the dagestans and Russians are far more superior in the wrestling aspect. Like the saying goes, they're just build differently. More tougher mindset and willing to dig through the trenches when shit hits the fan. Lotta americans don't got that grit. I'm not a wrestling nerd but I learned a lot from watching mma.

It's the cool thing to hate or shit on everything American even Americans do it too.

They (the russians) mix it with judo,thats the big problem everyone has with it. It has nothing to do with grit. Go tell Kurt Angle,the A M E R I C A N olympic gold medalist who won it with a broken neck,that "lotta americans dont got that grit"

 

[surrealworlds]

uh....no. Wrestling is not used as "the main weapon" but it is used...and trained...and on full display in most if not all fights. Wrestling is used to control the position of the fight, as in if you want to stay standing you will need wrestling to stuff a takedown, if you want to get it to the ground you need wrestling for the takedown.

Its not dying, its been integrated into this new martial art called Mixed Martial Arts.

Broken freakin neck. Get it right!!!!!

Dude you're Italian.

 

[HHJ]

OH ITS TRUE


ITS DAMN TRUE

 

[El Panteron]

Dude you're Italian.

That's not my fucking fault is it? And at least we clean ar assholes when we shit.

 

[BigTruck]

That's not my fucking fault is it?

Nope and there's nothing wrong with it either. I just simply stated that to see how you'd respond and it was anger oddly.

 

[SouthpawSouthernFist]

Blasting a double leg has limited utility. Caucasus fighters have judo, Sambo, wrestling, and submissions all in one. You're just seeing the other aspects of their game shine.

You know wrestling has more than "blasting a double leg" ?

Well He is Italian. Which means its not odd at all. You should have been more prepared.

Man I was ironic both times, I specifically answered with anger because it was inconsistent with attitude of superiority.

Now I don't mean that all yanks are idiots that don't get obvious sarcasm by that. Wink wink.
