gamer -UGSlapshot -gamer -Yar, I mean a lot of the arts borrow from eachother and they obviously teach it in jujitsu but the kimura is a judo move not that it matters that much.UGSlapshot -gamer -Actually its judo.r tard -gamer -So what would you call Jones' submission over Belfort? Looked like a wrestling lock to mer tard -gamer - I hate to agree with Jones, but the fact is, Jones is right regardlessPhil Davis disagrees with you, sir. hmmmmmm and where did judo come from? Thats right Japanese Ju-Jitsu. SO if you want to go the anti-BJJ route, fine, you are correct. But to say Kano came up with a key lock is silly. |

Lol at the idiots who don't know that wrestling has submission holds Just because they can't be applied to finish a match in competition and are illegal depending on how they're applied, doesn't mean they don't exist. BJJ did not invent chokes, necks cranks, torquing of limbs, etc. . It just built an art around those specific things. Many submissions existed in wrestling in Judo way before BJJ was even an idea

There is no specific art to train ground and pound. You do not go to special ground and pound dojos or "yo bro i train in ground punching". There is not much special technique when throwing elbows or hammer fists into your opponent's skull or torso. You are simply using a blunt weapon in the form of your fist, elbow, or even shoulder to cause direct damage to your opponent. Wrestling enables you to put yourself into a dominant position where you can gain superior leverage that provides more damaging strikes. Wrestling also aids you in controlling your opponent's ability to avoid strikes or escape the ground. You'll never be able to place yourself in that controlling dominant position to deliver fight ending strikes on the ground without using good wrestling technique. Hundreds of fights have been finished due to wrestling. |

Wicked smahtMF -When Jones is talking about it, sure. Jones has wrestled and is aware that it has subsGriffinQ - Lol at the idiots who don't know that wrestling has submission holds But for idiots such as yourself and Thiaguy, I don't think you're aware of the submission holds in wrestling. Wrestling DOES finish fights, and saying otherwise is ignorant, so maybe educate yourself before you speak on the subject When Hughes finished Almeida, it was not a BJJ move or judo move.. It was a front headlock from wrestling. That is a submission he learned as a WRESTLER.

PK618 - He literally just tweeted "Oops, I meant it doesn't finish fights".He's right it needs some good ground and pound to follow it up like Cain vs Bigfoot. Cain shows the true effectiveness of wrestling in mma, others could learn a lot from him.

Well when what Jon Jones says is taken out of context it gets silly. Slams are low percentage if they were high percentage everybody would be using slams to finish but they don't because they're not. On the other hand I think GSP has proven wrestling can win fights but that's not what Jones was talking about. Ending a fight with a neck crank would be ending a fight with a submission that's also not what Jones was alluding to. From what i gather all he meant was that positional grappling only gets you so far and that you need more skills than just that to stop a opponent I'm mma. I really don't see what the problem is with that statement other than ... well duh..

Generally speaking wrestling is not used to finish fighters, its used to break fighters down so that you can finish them.

Wicked smahtMF -gamer -GriffinQ -Wicked smahtMF -When Jones is talking about it, sure. Jones has wrestled and is aware that it has subsGriffinQ - Lol at the idiots who don't know that wrestling has submission holds SUBMISSIONS ARE PART OF WRESTLING. Just because something is a commonly held belief or oft-repeated statement doesn't make it factually correct. People frequently reference wrestling and are speaking only of takedowns. That's incorrect. People speak of the clinch game as if it's not a part of wrestling. Incorrect as well. People speak of ground control moves and submissions as if they can only be learned in BJJ or sub-oriented styles like Catch. Again, incorrect. Anyone who has ever spent time in a wrestling room has learned submissions. Not being allowed to use something in competition doesn't mean that it's not a part of that sport, and doesn't mean that they can't apply it somewhere else. Things that can be used in competition within a sport are not the only aspect of a sport. Reaping the leg and various neck cranks aren't allowed in BJJ competitions...does that mean that they're not part of BJJ? Hughes said that he learned his finish of Almeida from wrestling. So is Matt Hughes incorrect when he refers to a submission as a wrestling move? Not something he learned for sub-wrestling or catch-wrestling, but something he learned from American Folkstyle wrestling, the sport he grew up in. How is this childish/non-relevant BS? You're being willfully ignorant about the parts of a sport in order to make your argument, something tells me you and Thiaguy have never spent time in a wrestling room. It's not untrue, it's not misleading, and it's not nit-picky to express that wrestling has submissions and finishes fights. It IS, however, ignorant to say that it does not. So take your troll account that you've had for all of 3 weeks, and fuck right off. Take Thiaguy with you, I'm tired of his "Gamer" account and I'm just oh so excited to see what his next name is. |

gamer - 1. Certain styles of wrestling dont even allow clinching or only allow clinchingWhat's ignorant about that statement, oh ye of the multiple bannings? And would you like me to refer to you as Thiaguy, or Strength, or LegKickToTheHead , or Viva, or gamer? Odd that someone who has been banned upwards of 5 times in the span of 5 months is calling someone who has never been banned a bad poster...

And would you like me to refer to you as Thiaguy, or Strength, or LegKickToTheHead , or Viva, or gamer? When you take someone down and break their arm(with a submission) that is applying jiu-jitsu and not solely wrestling. Jones is correct in his statement, fights or not finished or won with wrestling, but by utilizing your dominant skill combined with all the other facets of mma. The issue is that wrestling fanboys just want to give credit to wrestling and not give credit to the other discipline's of mma, when in reality it is the training in these other discipline's which allows them to be successful in the first place. |

epic hero -I have no problem giving credit to other facets of MMA. Learning BJJ is completely necessary to learning both the guard and defense against many subs.GriffinQ -gamer - 1. Certain styles of wrestling dont even allow clinching or only allow clinchingWhat's ignorant about that statement, oh ye of the multiple bannings? And would you like me to refer to you as Thiaguy, or Strength, or LegKickToTheHead , or Viva, or gamer? But your example is still incorrect. Someone can take someone down, and apply a submission hold entirely from wrestling without ever studying or seeing BJJ, and break someone's arm. I'm not sure why it's so difficult for people to accept that wrestling does have submissions , they're just not the focus of the current popular rule sets of American and International wrestling. Submissions have existed long before BJJ.
