…..I suppose because a little catch wrestling/BJJ has become the new
super secret Shaolin temple mystic science of unfathomable fury.
It least in the minds of many who need a replacement fantasy after martial Arts were exposed in the early UFC’s.
Reality check – 12 to 15 months of transition sharpening coupled with the best hands MMA has ever seen and you’ll have less than half a dozen fighters at his weight who can compete with him in MMA.
Athletes with ¼ of his athletic ability and work ethic get down what they need to excel in under 4 years, so you do the math.
His biggest problem would be the massive paycut.
It won’t happen until he’s 45 and completely shot, if it ever does.
