AgaveMaria Posted April 17 Posted April 17 Any competition that allowed mat time and not just punching would find John Smith beating the famous Bruce Lee. About the same weight John would take him down and punish him. Dan Gable would do it also - with more emphasis on punisment as his grinding style was built on it. ” Never attribute to inspiration that which can be adequately explained by delusion”.
jchapman Posted April 17 Posted April 17 Bruce Lee would beat Uncle John in acting. Craig Henning got screwed in the 2007 NCAA Finals.

Strikers nearly always lose to grapplers, especially "fighters" who never actually competed (Bruce Lee).

BJJ and wrestling are nearly the same thing. I was astonished at how easily I took to BJJ. Plus jujitsuka are terrible compared to wrestlers when taking people down.
pokemonster Posted April 17 Posted April 17 But Steven Seagal would likely mop the floor with John Smith. I've seen him absolutely wreck martial arts legends with little to no effort.

BJJ>Wrestling is not a given. BJJ doesn't work nearly as well when you're on cement, when the other guy can headbutt you from your guard, when you can get kicked and kneed while you're on the ground, and a number of other things. The BJJ practiced in competition has less direct application to a real fight than wrestling does, because the advantage of being on top in a real fight is much bigger than the advantage of being on top in a grappling competition. BJJ also loses some effectiveness if you don't walk around in real life wearing a Gi. 2 1
