Umm where did GSP wrestle in college?
Also, the state of MMA right now is that everyone needs to have a wrestling base, but wrestling alone will not get it done anymore at the top levels. Too many fighters have learned how to stop a takedown, especially against the fence. Without something to threaten with on the feet, a wrestler is dead in the water in modern high-level mma.
Watch Chad Mendes vs. Jose Aldo for an example.
