In mixed martial arts there are two forms of base fighting styles; strikers and wrestlers. In the early days of mixed martial arts, the fans were always calling for the wrestler versus the boxer. Take a look at some of the top MMA fighters in the world such as GSP, Brock Lesnar, Rashad Evans, Randy Couture and Dan Henderson – they all were prolific wrestlers prior to their MMA careers.
