How do you guys think this guy would do in the UFC? He is an Olympic Wrestler and is known for lay and pray. Some say that he is not well rounded enough and wouldn't match up against guys that are superior strikers and have exceptional BJJ skills.



I find it impressive that he will stop at nothing for a takedown.



The fact that some say that he might lose to a better striker or someone with more exceptional BJJ skills reminds me of Josh Koscheck getting knocked out by Paulo Thiago. Josh Koscheck is known for his impressive wrestling pedigree also.
