Just in my own experience....I was a wrestler for 6 years and ranked high in New England in my Junior and Senior year...
This is a vague example.....but I have friends that are pretty good fighters and like to throw a punch. I personally am not into fighting....
But if a buddy of mine tries to wrestle around with me I have the ability to end it in about 10 seconds because they\'re terrible on the ground. THat is a huge advantage from that perspective.
Do I think a boxer could hang in the UFC? Of course! But they\'re going to have to get the necessary training in order to work different situations
