I would actually say folkstyle would have an advantage over freestyle because of the greater emphasis on controling the top position. You earn a point for demonstrating control over that position in folkstyle (college anyway). This is obviously applicable to avoiding subs and establishing a G&P opportunity. Freestyle is intended to encourage faster paced and more dynamic wrestling, which might put the wrestler in more dangerous positions for being subbed and whatnot. Greco's great, but you aren't going to put someone out on the kind of deck used in MMA very often, and we've seen how leg shots can be used to set stuff up in an MMA context.
