Fighter with the Best Combination of BJJ and Wrestling?

I think we have to give that title to Babalu. The guy has really brought the two styles together to create a complete ground game. He might not have the best wrestling or the best JJ, but his combination of the two should be the blue prints for the ground. Props to Babalu.

Erik Paulson also gets credit for CSW. Both Barnett and Sherk train under Paulson. Ironically, Barnett cornered Babalu against Heath.

I'm always impressed with Babalu.
Monson is a BJJ BB and D1 wrestler.
Arona and Fihlo, are impressive too.
