| Is there anyone in MMA with a better combination of great wrestling and great BJJ? If you ask me, that's pretty well-rounded. It would be nice to see him strike better, but show me a guy with as ridiculous skill as him in those two areas. | |

| As far as wrestling and BJJ I wouldn't disagree with you. He's well rounded on the ground thats for sure but I wouldn't say he's well rounded overall. I've noticed that he's got better at strikes sense the Lawler fight but he's still pretty average | |

| I would still love to see him bring his game to the UFC and see where he really is. | |

| I really am in awe of how he's melded wrestling and BJJ together at such a high level. | |

| You mean dominating Dan Henderson is not a good enough measuring stick Andrew? come on man.
It's GSP or Jake Shields when were are talking about the mix. However, GSP seems more about the wrestling than the jitz nowadays...Jon Fitch is probably another guy but he seems more about the wrestling now as well. | |

| Yeah, Hughes and GSP are really good at melding the two, but not on the same level as Shields. | |

Troll job. Lets see how good Jake "really" is. Cuz Hendo sucks. He's was only the #2 MW in the UFC and the only fighter to win a round with Anderson. Typical, if you arn't in the UFC, you suck. | |
