Champions
DJ - Pankration which has Wrestling
TJ Dillashaw - Bang Muay Thai with Wrestling Background
Max Holloway - Striker with Good Defensive Wrestling
Khabib - Dangerous Wrestling
Tyron Woodley - Wrestling Background with the best Takedown Defense in the UFC
Robert Whittaker - Striker with an Australian Wrestling Champion
DC - Olympic level Wrestling

With all male champions in the UFC having good wrestling in some way, is it without a doubt wrestling is unstoppable in the UFC and MMA in general?

This.

A striker will never hold a belt.

 

[MikalP]

[Mason Magboo]

Max Holloway?

he is a striker but it's hard to take him down unless you are Khabib or GSP lol

 

[MikalP]

Or Conor, who has shit wrestling and shit cardio

Who else has really even tried? Aldo didn't. Pettis didn't. Lamas didn't.

 

[Mason Magboo]

Max Holloway?and he is not like Anderson Silva who is a striker and is easily taken down. Max Holloway is hard to take down

Wrestling/grappling is the most superior martial art of all. It helps tremendously to have it in your repertoire.

I think what you mean is

Being well rounded creates a champ

This.

A striker will never hold a belt.

That could be true if you are a striker with bad wrestling defense. If you are a good striker with good wrestling defense like Max Holloway, you are unstoppable. Or if you are GSP who was first a striker and then put wrestling into their style, you are unstoppable as well. That is why GSP was always unstoppable. If he was still a striker, he would be destroyed by high level wrestlers

but I am saying that out of all martial arts, wrestling is the most dominant one

It's equal to striking in all the above mentioned

[TheChance]

funny how it used to be BJJ and then it shifted to Wrestling once wrestler caught up with BJJ it was over

 

[StopDucking]

So the fact wrestling is ineffective against Max Holloway proves wrestling is unstoppable? Wtf.
