Yeah, HW is the perfect example of that, the vast majority of wrestlers, regardless of how decorated, don't make the transition to elite MMA fighter. Tyrell Fortune, Calyn Hull, Rosholt, even Petersen got finished by Waldo.I mean striking has typically dominated the higher weight classes for a long time. No one wants to shoot a double leg on a guy with donkey kong hammer fist.
Chin aside, I think part of the issue is how exhausting wrestling can be, which when couple with a lack of fundamentals on the feet, makes them sitting ducks.
