| Askren - his is awesome cause he has his own style, he doesnt have the freestyle style, hes FUNKY
Maynard ya probably on this list he is dominant with them
Sonnen ehh IDK I would still honestly probably have Randy over him , he still probably is a top 5 guy though
Cormier - not sure havent seen him enough
Kos - IDK jsut got dominated by GSP, yes he does have the top wrestling cred in the division

The list isnt bad at all. Randy and GSP could also be on the list as well. |

| The best pure wrestling resume guys, Askren, Mo, Cormier, are still pretty new to MMA.
Mo's wrestling was negated by a BJJ guy,
as far as guys who's pure MMA wrestling is best, GSP, and the more recently added Sonnen top the list.

Mo's wrestling wasn't negated by a bjj guy. Mo's wrestling was negated by a torn up knee. Either way, I agree with the other names you listed. |

possibly. Not sure when that injury occured.
all I know is Cavalcante totally negated Mo's wrestling. |
