How To Combat A Wrestler In MMA

Before we jump in and discuss all of the strategies and techniques that you can use to defend against a wrestler in MMA, let’s take a look at exactly what a wrestler brings to the table.

First of all, wrestlers are incredibly explosive and use tremendous speed and power to overwhelm their opponents.

Secondly, wrestlers have the kind of top pressure that makes it feel like you’re stuck underneath a small truck.

And last of all, wrestlers are notoriously difficult to unbalance. They have a tremendous base and use excellent frames and posture to maintain dominant grappling positions.

You might be thinking, so how does this translate into ‘impact’? If a wrestler gains top control and applies remarkable pressure, you will likely be on the end of some significant ground and pound that might force a referee to jump in and stop the contest before you know it.
