Oma are you still just trying to get these guys worked up or was your last post serious?
I would much rather face a BJJ guy in a standup "No holds Bar" fight or while throwing someone out of concert or club, than have to face a wrestler with the same experience level.
Generally I find wrestlers more powerful and explosive and they are far harder to move into the position you want them to (of course the older I get the harder it is for me to move anyone around). They train very hard to maintain control and stay on their feet. I have not met many BJJ guys that want to stay on their feet at all. That being said, I don't want to be on the ground with the BJJ guy. When I do still do my occasional security gig, or end up in a stupid situation, I want it over quick. The last person I want to be on the ground with is a BJJ guy. Not because I know they are that much better than a wrestler, but because I know my limitations.
As for a ring fight with rules, I don't play that way, so I won't go there.
