Both got in some incredible scrambles and outwitted one another; however, the professor had the better of the student on several instances.

How important is wrestling in MMA?

Wrestling in MMA is one of the most lethal tools to have in the arsenal. Wrestlers have dominated the sport for a very long time; moreover, the majority of the fighters who’ve been UFC champions were wrestlers. 

Cain Velasquez, Daniel Cormier, Khabib Nurmagomedov, Henry Cejudo, and Jon Jones, along with being impeccable fighters, all of them share two things in common: they were all UFC champions and all of them had a wrestling background.
