Is this an ammy fight? I don't think it matters. I didn't think he needed an ammy fight anyways but if he wants one go for it.
wow great refute to the points i’ve made! ncaa wrestling doesn’t matter like it used to anymore. that’s the ugly truth whether you like it or not.
the only chance these guys have is to join a world class gym immediately after making the crossover to mma and learn everything else before they debut. and this can still happen to them:
takedown defense is pretty simple now, get underhooks to defend a high double and stuff the head/yank your leg out for a low single. it doesn’t take long for elite strikers to learn this stuff anymore.
You haven't made any points though. You literally just threw up some anecdotes. You provided no stats, you did no analysis, you dropped a couple gifs. I know that humans, especially less educated humans, think in terms of stories, in terms of anecdotes and examples, and not in terms of numbers. But I could make a similar and equally useless counterargument with some of my own gifs.
*Insert gif of Derek Brunson vs. Darren Till* etc.
or alternatively I could attack strikers with an equally bad argument
*Insert gif of Israel Adesanya vs. Jan Blachowicz* etc.
Those aren't arguments. Those are fleeting memories. Because what is the expectation? That every single college wrestler will win every single fight? Do you realize how ridiculous that is? That is A. logically impossible, because if two college wrestlers (ex. Fortune and Johnson) fight each other, at least one will lose. And B. that has never been the case.
Finally. "these guys have...to join a world class gym...and learn everything else." This is your main argument. And it's like, I salute you captain obvious. Because not since, really, the 1990s, and maybe remnants in the early 2000s have there been strict discipline practitioners. Anyone who comes to MMA from any base, be it karate, taekwondo, muay thai, kickboxing, boxing, jiu jitsu, and wrestling, all have to go to MMA gyms and fill in the gaps of their game. So what you're saying is nothing novel. The only people who don't are those who start with an MMA base, and historically people with an MMA base have done very poorly.
So when you say "there is a transition process", you're not saying anything meaningful. If you're trying to dispute, rather, than wrestling isn't the best MMA base, well there are stats on that. In order to argue against that you need to offer counter-statistics on another base that has statistically had more success. You're not doing that yet, so far you just dropped a couple gifs, and again those mean nothing.
