@NYA

Dont get me wrong there is no need to aplogize for anything but my post was all about wrestling so I took your quote as a repsonse to wrestling, not to Mark alone.

I think most MMA-heads know by now Mark was by far NOT the best example of an MMA wrestler ever, but what he showed the world was a traditional wrestler can be effective in an all-out fight with striking allowed and that it could even beat the unbeatable BJJ (at the time). It still had to be further adapted (#Hughes, #GSP) and you cannot survive with wrestling alone in today's MMA but you can get pretty far even with just a high-level wrestling base. Just as with the Gracies, Royce was not even the best BJJ practioner in his family let alone the world but he showed the world you need to answer BJJ problems to be successful in an all-style environment. The Godfather of GnP showed the world wrestling can easliy be adpated and when it is it's the hardest problem to answer #mostUFCchamps

P.S. My first comment to Mark would be "get off the PED's you roid-raging freakazoid" ....will never forget when Fedor murked his arm and he went off on a wild rage back stage lol.....
