News Jordan Burros changes mind wants an MMA fight

[heavyarms21]

Well he can't do any worse than Ben Askren who was also a one dimensional wrestler. Jordan Burroughs is more athletic though. He could develop decent striking and learn some submission defense after 6 months of training. The key question is how well he can take a punch. Ben, to his credit, had a good chin with the exception of the Masvidal KO.

There are quite a few examples of dominant wrestlers like Brock Lesnar who couldn't cut it in MMA because they didn't have the ability to take a punch.

No one would be able to stop his takedown. He ragdolled Askren in a wrestling match they had few years back , but we don't know how he would react to getting hit, despite being a phenomenal athlete.
