Yeah, I misread that. My bad.
I agree with you actually, in MMA, you have to be skilled in every facet. I'll use GSP as an example, he's probably the archetype of what a true MMA fighter should be. Excellent wrestling, excellent hands and kicks, and excellent submissions.
Earlier in this thread or maybe another, I made a comment that BJJ only fighters have been left behind. I used Royce vs Hughes as an example, Hughes considers himself BB level, if they used Belts at MFS, and his wrestling dominated that fight.
Another great example that comes to mind is Rani Yahya vs Chase Bebe (WEC 30 LW Championship). Rani is a world BJJ Champion, and it showed in the first round, I think he threw like 12 submissions attempts and had Chase in a sunk in kneebar, which he got out of. Chase came back and beat Rani.
All cases of a well rounded MMA fighter beating a one dimensional fighter. No argument there. I think I made my case already about if I only had one to train in.
