Fitch could beat Diaz But not Condit, Kosh may not be able to beat either one of those guys but hey.... who the hell knows? Lets see them fight and see what happnes
the rules don't reward wrestling that much
Fitch would beat both of them. Kos is a maybe for Condit but he would definitely beat Diaz.
i think that wrestlers like kos, fitch and now ellenburger and hendricks are important gatekeepers at 170 - especially for guys like condit and diaz or kampman. if you can't beat the highest level wrestlers, you're not going to beat gsp.
that being said, i still think it's weak that the rules reward wrestling to such an extreme these days. you can't hold someone down forever to death. you're just holding them down. that's not winning a fight, that's stalling. whatever. it's what we got for now.
There's a very simple solution to that. Just avoid fighting them! Hardy didn't have to for a title shot. Neither did Condit or Diaz. Rory could potentially get a title shot without beating any elite wrestlers.
