MMA wrestlers

What about Rulon Gardner, if he counts.

he never really committed to MMA, so I'd leave him out. others in the discussion have made careers out of the sport, as opposed to fighting a few times (like Royce Alger).
 
This is a little bit off topic, but at what weight would a collegiate wrestler fight at in MMA. I go to the University of Missouri, home of Ben Askren, easily the best college wrestler right now. He wrestles at 174. I know that he has mentioned some interest in MMA in articles and stuff in the school newspaper, so I was wondering what MMA weight class he would project to.

I really like how everyone is going to underestimate Brock Lesnars Wrestling... He's ridiculously strong, fast as anyone in UFC (He ran a 4.9 40yard dash when he tried out for the NFL) plus he's COUNTRY BREAKFAST (Referring to being raised on a Farm) strong, he has that unnatural strength.... wait till he gets someone in the Ring/Cage and drops them hard with Double Legs and two on one suplexs

Besides that Couture is the best credentialed wrestler, even over Lindland

ehh, won more individual champio...scratch that, ehhh definately had a higher winning per....noteither,....he he,....I love Randy, so I guess if you say so he was better then Lindland ;-)

war ben askren. hes been doing well so far during the tournament...but best one? 2nd to Dustin schatler IMO...

ben has talked about doing mma. my guess is he would do 185, though koschek wrestled 174 and fights at 170. either 170 or 185 for askren

Seriously? It's not on TV here, so I've been watching pbp and reading the brackets, but Askren had one close match (as did Schlatter); but Ben's pinned everyone else. Has he been behind in a few or something? Also, how has Hendricks looked?

Any clue what happened to Ben's brother? He had a great season, and he's out in 2?!?

weird about bens brother. i saw that and was surprised. all over the place people were talking about how big of an upset it was
 
Damn, Hamill jumped from 167 to 190 in a single year alone. That's a huge jump. Crazy shit.

Look at Kurt Angle. As impressive as Gardner except Gardner has 2 medals. Angle placed in 1st in all but one competition listed. Damn impressive.
