@@graciederangementsyndrome3669 Gracies were always on the juice during their fights. Plus Shamrock wasn't allowed to wear his wrestling shoes against Gracie during their fight and Gracie even used his belt to choke shamrock out. At least the Gracie clan later got humiliated by Kazushi Sakuraba.

Imagine if MMA or commission approved mixed style fights existed during the Billy Riley era of wrestling. Imo Catch Wrestlers wouldn’t have turned to Professional Wrestling for more money and CACC would still thrive today. Nowadays Gracie/Machado JiuJitsu rule the world.

Judo is more effective than bjj! Look how Khabib and Rousey smashed their bjj competition on the ground
@graciederangementsyndrome3669 Жыл бұрын
@@kenwood2682 You're a joke. Rousey is irrelevant and Khabib is a hybrid grappler who uses more wrestling than Judo. You have to be delusional to think that Judo is more effective when nearly all positional ground fighting and submissions are BJJ, not Judo. For stand up grappling, wrestling is the most dominant. You can find BJJ based fighters in the UFC but almost no Judokas using Judo as their main style
