This will settle this debate just like Wandy Liddell settled the Pride UFC debate and Nog Couture settled the BJJ-wrestling debate, along with Hughes Gracie. Oh wait, the world isn't cut and try and can't be typified by singular moments between fading stars. Drat reality!

Wolf, you were that kid in the corner of class making negative comments under his breath everytime someone spoke aren't you? Then someone would ask you "what" and you would respond with, "oh, nothing."

Obviously it won't set the principle in stone, but they're roughly the same age, size and level of their particular discipline -- seems like as good a time as ever to compare the two. Looking forward to your response. The internet has made warriors out of guys like you.

Its not that they arent accomplished in both styles of wrestling. Its that they are both over the hill in terms of ability to compete at a high level in wrestling. This fight will show more about which fighter has aged more/faster, which the answer is probably Coleman.

I suspect it will be a while until we see, at one point, Olympic level wrestlers compete against each other. And the fact that they are basically the same age means that they have the same hurdles. Obviously it's not clear cut, but it could give us a good idea. And both of these guys basically practice wrestlingin the octagon anyway so their skills are still sharp.
