Best Wrestling for MMA
This is a list of the fighters who displayed (or still are displaying) the best wrestling ability in their mixed martial arts competitions. Notice I said "in their mixed martial arts competitions." This list isn't about what these fighters accomplished in the sport of wrestling or being an Olympian or anything like that. It's just about who had the best wrestling adapted for mixed martial arts.
