EccentricMeat Posted March 17, 2011 Report Share Posted March 17, 2011 Well this is true. So stop jumping all over Hughes for saying it.

He maybe right about GSP's wrestling, but that remains to be seen.

EccentricMeat Posted March 17, 2011 Report Share Posted March 17, 2011 Guess its a good thing this isn't wrestling then' date=' it's MMA. MMA wrestling is different because you have more than one thing to worry about. Hints he beat Alves at striking when Alves is clearly the better striker but was so worried about the takedown he couldn't defend well. He beat Kos at wrestling because he was worried about the striking. Welcome to MIXED Martial Arts, where GSP is best.[/quote'] Actually, GSP did NOT beat Kos at wrestling in their match. Kos stuffed two, and the other two TDs he got right back up from, and I do believe he took GSP down, and GSP didn't bounce right back up. Unless of course you're referring to their first fight. If that's the case, disregard everything I just said. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

russadams Posted March 17, 2011 Report Share Posted March 17, 2011 Kos probably is a better wrestler, but GSP uses his wrestling skills better in MMA. In the second fight I dont think GSP was able to get Koscheck down, whereas Koscheck got GSP down once in the first. After that I think he was too messed up to even make a decent shot.

JahGreen Posted March 17, 2011 Report Share Posted March 17, 2011 MMA wrestling differs from Pure wrestling. Hughes may be right. But the sport that they are fighting is MMA. So if you can mix it up, you can take anybody down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Furiousmat Posted March 17, 2011 Report Share Posted March 17, 2011 well.. GSP trains with some of the best wrestlers in the world and it was them who suggested the idea that GSP could wrestle for the olympics at some point... GSP wouldn't be as dominant as a wrestler as he is a MMA fighter, that's for sure. But to say he would get smashed in a wrestling match is a bit too much... maybe he would lose but he wouldn't get totaly owned like Hughes seems to think.

Epilogue1406051983 Posted March 17, 2011 Report Share Posted March 17, 2011 the thing about GSP is that he has more than just skill, but he is easily the most athletic in his division and arguably the most athletic in the sport... he not only is putting in the hard work and training required to develop the skill and technique and absorb it like a sponge, but he has the complete physical ability to pull off what he knows... sure Kos has a lot more experience, which might suggest that Kos might have more skill, but GSP is simply just that much stronger, faster and agile with the cardio to keep that going for much longer than anyone else... the fact that GSP is constantly training with Olympic trainers plays a large part in that too... honestly, I think if there was a pure wrestling match between the two, GSP would still very likely win, simply because there is more to the situation than just experience... GSP puts in the hard work, is constantly learning and developing his skills, and has the ability to out perform Kos on a physical level ten hold...

Jalamin Posted March 17, 2011 Report Share Posted March 17, 2011 i dont think kos would wipe the floor with him in a wrestling match. kos has always relied on his strength in wrestling and has always ( still to this day) tried to play catch up with his stand up and bjj. how much does kos even train in wrestling anymore? im sure he does abit but he probably focuses much more on his weaker areas. who trains him and who does he train with? i dont know but i do know its not near the caliber of who gsp trains with (canadian olympic wrestling team). i think gsp has focused alot more on his wrestling in recent years to the point he is being pushed by the canadian olympic commitee to compete in the 2012 olympics, if he wasnt a medal threat why would they want him to go?

GoldenAfro Posted March 17, 2011 Report Share Posted March 17, 2011 I lol'd hard when GSP was rumored to be training for the Canadian Olympic team. Because A he isn't a good wrestler as soon as striking is taken out of it and B he would still probably make the joke of a team that is the Canada National wrestling team. Edit: Also C the amount of people on this forum who are so MMA elite and don't know the first thing about wrestling. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
roth89 Posted March 17, 2011 Report Share Posted March 17, 2011 Classic bitter Hughes. GSP has evolved so far. It's not a stretch at all to say he would beat any of the 3 "elite wrestlers" ie.
