Billyhoyle 2,500 Report post Posted April 11 I really hope not. The guy is awesome to watch compete, especially in freestyle. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Pico was a similar level recruit as YD in HS, and has better striking. Look how Aaron's MMA career turned out. YD needs to focus on freestyle and end our 65kg world/Olympic medal drought. 1 BerniePragle reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lunaticfringe 103 Report post Posted April 12 Usually guys who do well in MMA are brawler style guys. One guy I think would have done well is Frank Molinaro. Don’t see Yianni doing the best, he could do so so. Would have liked seeing Ian Miller or Dylan Ness Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

That's a lot of reach for opponents to give up. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Was Nickal a "brawler style guy"? I would say it's not likely Yianni does MMA, but I think it's higher than 0%. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I wouldn't say Nickal was no, I would say he is an elite level grappler at a heavier weight where the skill-set is less prominent, so he has a little more of a ceiling than I'd give a Bryce Meredith.... but...... I hold the same idea that "When being fed cans (fighters who are underdogs against almost everyone they face) D1 AA caliber wrestlers are going to win 90+% of the time" Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Remember this is stemming from the comment, "Usually guys who do well in MMA are brawler style guys" , not the idea that D1 Champions can't win at lower level events even without hands. Your golden goose comparison would be Askren, you got to latch onto that one and use it for the rest of the thread.

OK yes thank you for settling that debate, sorry guess I was trying to think of current guys that have just started going to MMA. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
