Reply With QuoteThat's a very vague question. That's like saying how can barbells be used for weight lifting. You can go train and learn all of the forms, study them, get a degree, but then you'll realize you wasted to much time studying wrestling when you get KO'd with strikes, or submitted.

A better question would be, have any of those methods played any part in winning for a successful MMA champion?

The point is that it's just one element of MMA and the question is poorly written. Perhaps it should be more like; what form of wrestling is best suited for MMA? Or how much emphasis should be put on wrestling for MMA?
It's worded like a question you'd see on a high school exam.Total ownage. Originally Posted by kbm8795

no my question is like what can be taken out of each style.
example
folk=takedowns
greco=slams/takedowns on upper area
freestyle=slams/takedowns anywhere

Dude, you can take anything from any of those MA's, as long as its practical in the MMA setting. For example, you're not really gonna try and roll a guy while holding his legs like you would in freestyle wrestling (it'll score you points in wrestling, but get you kicked in the face in MMA).
But i remember watching a guy who was a black belt in judo fighting in the UFC. That guy was cool because guys would clinch with him expecting elbows/knees and whatnot he would toss them on their face in the blink of an eye."The greatest obstacle to knowledge is not ignorance but the illusion of knowledge." -Barry Marshall, Nobel Laureate
