US Olympic Team>>>>>>>>chute boxe
FACT
Cormier is already in the UFC. Ben Askren is the second closest to being in the UFC because he has fought better quality opponents. Henry Cejudo still needs a while to develop, he has only fought guys with horrible records. And Steve Mocco also needs to fight higher quality guys. Do all of these guys have the potential to do great in the UFC? Absolutely. But they need more time to develop their skills before they are thrown to the wolves.
chute boxe is dead since a long time ago.
What do you see now is a poor shell of it

The more Olympic wrestlers that enter MMA, the more we need rules changed. MMA went from BJJ guys dominating because no one knew how to defend it to wrestlers dominating because no one can stop the takedown and it wins big points.
We need quicker stand ups and takedowns counting for very little unless you do something with it. If a wrestler is on top of a BJJ guy, who exactly is winning? That's the problem with scoring. It's a neutral position until something happens.
If you can't stop from getting taken down or do anything from the bottom I don't see why the ref should bail you out.
If you're doing nothing besides sitting in somebody's guard I don't see why you should be thought of as winning the fight.
