I highly doubt that considering that Nick Ring should really be 1-4 instead of 3-2 in the UFC.

I'm picking Ring here...not 100% sold on Uriah yet after TUF. Won't be surprised if he wins easily though.

This wouldn't be the first time a totally exciting, ferocious striker was tamed by a man with a better ground game.  Think Siyar Bahadurzada vs. Dong Kim.

Grapplers have been making strikers look foolish for WAAY before Randy Couture embarrassed James Toney.

Muhammad Ali would have been made to look foolish by Bruno Sammartino (world wrestling champion.)  

Once the scary striker has been dragged down, they are about 1% of what they are on their feet.  That is the amazing, cold, hard fact that MMA has proven 100 times over.

Nick Ring is not an amazing grappler like any of the guys you mentioned. Also, Couture/Toney? That fight should not even be mentioned. EVERYONE knew that fight would go that way. Hall is a mixed martial artist, thats is. He may be primarily a striker but he is an MMA fighter. Toney is a boxer. Nothing 'MMA' about his style.

The point being, MMA fighters whose background is primarily grappling, have been make MMA fighters who's background is primarily striking, since, well, forever.

After a quick google search I understand that Bruno Sammartino was a weight lifter and pro wrestler. How the **** would he make Ali, the god damn GOAT, look foolish in anything ???

I think Hall makes this one look nasty, or maybe he gets taken down and grapple****** like the TUF Finale? lol

To be fair some pro wrestler would maybe win an MMA fight against boxers but just because they have a real wrestling background, this Sammartino dude doesn't seem to have one though...

Bruno Sanmartino. What....the...****...

Bill you need to learn about Karl Gotch, Dan Gable, Aleksander Karelin, Billy Riley, or literally anyone associated with Japanese shoot style wrestling.. Not an American professional wrestler, who would probably be subbed by Ali based off pure athleticism.
