Highlander7991 Posted July 2, 2009 Share Posted July 2, 2009 I don't see any of them as being "STARS". I mean yeah they are some of the best wrestlers in the country, but u can never base MMA of just wrestling. Trust me when i first started I got my fair share of Triangles, Armbars, and Kimuras. But it takes TIME to become an mma star. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BB145 Posted July 3, 2009 Share Posted July 3, 2009 I dont believe he meant theyd step off the mat and become stars. With proper training they have a better chance than everyday people or average wrestlers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lefthanded Headlock Posted July 3, 2009 Share Posted July 3, 2009 I don't see anyone on that list except Herbert possibly doing well. I don't think Metcalf or Varner are anywhere near athletic enough, Rosholt is big but he's not athletic like Carwin and Lesnar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BB145 Posted July 3, 2009 Share Posted July 3, 2009 They are plenty athletic? Look at Kenny Florian and Frank Mir. Neither are considered athletic. You win national championships in wrestling, your plenty athletic. Also Rosholts brother seems to be doing fine in MMA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rosholt's brother is doing well, but he hasn't fought anyone yet. I think Mir is very athletic for a person his size. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
