Wrestling is anything but "broken" in MMA right now. Look at the landscape:
LW belongs to a grappler.
MW belongs to a striker,
HW belongs to a grappler.
Course, this just goes to show you how useless these labels are in MMA these days. BJ can strike, Silva can grapple, and Nog can box. Just the same, GPS can strike and strike well, and Quinton can crack as good as anyone in the division.
Even in the WEC, what "wrestler" is dominating the division? Faber's the FW champ, but he's as well rounded as they come.
