    ufc is just one of the organisations, and it's not even the best. wrestlers dominated mma for a while, but now it's moving in a new direction. the ideal mma fighter is a heavy-handed striker that can use submissons or a strong submisson fighter that can strike. wrestling is a good base, but is far from 'the most effective martial art'. wrestling alone does not provide enough offense to win against well-rounded fighters.

    saturnus, in a mma event, a good wrestler wouldn't run screaming from anyone. indeed, they would probably rush the guy. one thing about mma is that it shows what really works in a fight. if i needed a bodyguard or something, i'd take a guy like fedor emelianenko over some black belt that throws his students around in a dojo any day.

    and btw guys, when i say "wrestling" i'm talking about the real greco-roman stuff, not "pro" wrestling. i assume that gawain meant the same.
