BJJ and wrestling are more MMA-ready and easier to incoporate into an MMA repoitoire than Judo. Judo will not be suitable for MMA until it stops being so heavily gi-reliant and allows more than 5 seconds for grappling on the ground. And I also think they need to work on positioning after throws. Look at how Karo was unable to establish dominant position after throwing Diego who kept scrambling out. Ironically, Karo was able to control him best using double-leg takedowns.

I'm not a nuthugger. I just firmly believe that judo is the best grappling base for mma and believe that I am more than fair when debating the dynamics.
Every delusional nuthugger genuinely believes his MA or fav fighter is the best so that's not really saying much.
