BJ penn's wrestling is very underrated.

I think people just like to ignore it...it makes for better argument if you can say the opponent of a Penn or a Fedor actually does at least one thing better. In most cases, both Fedor and BJ are simply better at every aspect of the game. For BJ, it's his wrestling, the same goes for Fedor...people are always saying, "a big wrestler that can strike is what will beat Fedor"...the problem is, Fedor is a phenomenal wrestler, and has amazing ground control and balance...if he ends up on the bottom, it's probably because he realizes "why fight for the top position when I'm just as comfortable on the bottom, and will lose less energy?"
