N0 matter how much a bjj fighter crosstrains in wrestling they still won't be able to take down a top flight wrestler. They need to mix it up more, someone like Mach Sakurai is a good example of what it takes to BEAT a top flight wrestler.
BJJ strategies that don't work in MMA:
1. Playing the bjj position game. With strikes mixed in there and tough guys who are good at getting out of tough spots the idea of sweeping, passing guard, mounting, etc is unrealistic.
2. Waiting for your opponent to make a "mistake". This is directed at those bjj fighters who lie on the ground with a guy in their guard waiting for him to give them an armbar or triangle. No top fighter will do that and the bjj guy will get pounded in the process.
3. Rolling around with unathletic family members as being your only training and not taking your opponents' abilities seriously. Need I say more about this one?
