I've done wrestling before and I do mixed martial arts now (although I choose to spent about 90% of my time on standup). I guess I meant that I think with two fighters of similar experience and strength, leg-takedowns may not be that effective. I guess ground and pound is a more decisive option, but what if I'm not strong enough to completely lift someone up and slam them on their head?
