they probably need mma names to sell shows, even if their wrestling sucks
Againā¦
There have been 4 elite wrestlers go into MMA in 20 yearsā¦
You should find a different angle to just parrot over and over againā¦
RAF signs 3 match contractsā¦
We wonāt ever have see Danis again after next monthā¦
His wrestling is even worse than the MMA guysā¦
Itās where he belongs. He donāt like getting hit

Yea this is silly and I do not like the impact it has on the wrestlers and the wrestling community.
Only competition that Danis needs to be in is a BJJ or submission grappling competition.

For Stevenson it would likely have been better for his development had he wrestled Craig Jones and ended up getting submitted.
It would have been a peak into the fact there is a bigger game out there and he needs to learn new skills and develop.
Instead his bubble was burst with a nasty KO against a guy with a low win rate.

You donāt know anything about wrestling and only a fraction of what you desperately try to portray about MMAā¦
And I was reminded of another elite wrestler in the last 20 years, so, I will up it to 5ā¦
You canāt name them because you simply donāt know what elite wrestling or even just solid wrestling isā¦
Back to the kidās table, nerdā¦
I can think of way more than 5.
Askren, Cejudo, Mocco, Cormier, Rulon, Velasquez, Larkin, Pico, Nickal, Oliver, Ruth, Jenkins, and thatās not counting others Iām sure Iām missing.

Watch out, you are busting LJBs little safety bubble that heās formed in his head - whatever he can do to convince himself that elite wrestlers are not entering mma he will do. Just to try and win an argument online that heās already lost many times .. I think heās going senile tbh

Ruling, Mocco, Larkin and JO just dabbled in MMAā¦ I would not consider any of them making a real commitment to MMA as anything more than Iām going to try thisā¦
Pico was a golden glove boxer and world pankration champ as well as competing in underground cali MMA before he ever represented the USA as a cadetā¦ he was always more interested in fighting than wrestlingā¦
I donāt consider Velasquez as an elite wrestlerā¦
Bubva questionableā¦
Ruth I 100% agree with and totally forgot about himā¦
The rest on the listā¦
Of course my idea of āeliteā American wrestlers is going to be different than most and any arguments about that simply are not going to be productiveā¦
Velasquez was definitely up there with wrestling. He gave Konrad all he could handle in the NCAA semis and if he had wanted to he could have pushed to be on the national team. He was better at freestyle too. Bubba J was an NCAA champion and junior World champion so I think you could definitely call him elite. He pinned David Taylor in the NCAA finals, and it wasnāt some cheap bullshit pin either.
Then thereās a couple of other guys like Logan Storley, Lance Palmer, theyāve gotten into it. Bryce Meredith who was a 2x NCAA runner up was into MMA.
Not sure if you want to count Downey as elite even though he sucks.
Again, my view of what constitutes elite does not dwell on collegeā¦
just like a great college football player can easily be a bust in the prosā¦
As far as PDIII is concernedā¦
As a Loveable fuk up myself, Iāve always been a fan because I see him as a Loveable fuk upā¦
And I have heard several stories from people who have rolled with PDIII and they are all the sameā¦ the first minute and a half PDIII made them feel like they had never wrestled a day in their lifeā¦ his talent was off the chartsā¦
I do not begrudge anyoneās opinion of himā¦
Ahhh moving the fucking goal post I see
