The only problem there is/was with wrestling is finishing the guy off. At least this is the perception I got from pure wrestlers in early UFCs. Great martial art alone for takedowns and control, but weak in finishing off your opponent.

Good point. They could usually finish off strikers pretty easily on the ground but someone with a basic undestanding of the ground and ground defense was in for a long fight if they cant get back up.

Wrestlers tend to become "ground and pound" fighters in MMA, because of the lack of finishing moves.

"If you believe in yourself and have dedication and pride, and never quit, you'll be a winner. The price of victory is high but so are the rewards." -Alabama Coaching Legend Paul "Bear" Bryant.
