I guess they consider Mike Tyson to be an alternative example of civilized fighting...

I'm sorry to admit, but I have that fight on DVD. I laughed when I saw it, but it was terrible because the guy had a seizure or something.

Tank is a true brawler.

Mike Tyson would get destroyed by CroCop or someone like Couture or any well rounded fighter.

Bar arm the guy till you dislocate his shoulder or dislocate the knee. Two moves easily accomplished if you know a bit of wrestling. I haven't seen too many guys with much fight left following said conditions.

Many wrestlers did not know submission moves until they learned juijitsu. Then they became really dangerous!

My opinion is that it is good to know ground fighting, but fights, but almost all fights start standing up and not all should go to the ground if there are other people around.

Good point. If other people are around getting the takedown may get you kicked in the head by the opponent's buddies. Been there.

YOu should attend the NCAA wrestling championships--in Oklahoma City in 2006: they were held in St Louis the last two years where I attended. The heavyweight champion, Steve Mocco, is also a national judo champion. Go figure. I am too old for this stuff now and have had to graduate to carrying my old .45; as they say, whatever it takes to win.

I think the point is that wrestlers have the requisite skills to win fights, balance, coordidation, and conditioning. If they can avoid the initial haymaker, iots hard to see how a good wrestler should lose to a street punk.
