Jake Shields vs Nick Diaz who wins ?

Actually sometimes your opinions are just insane.

I agree with you, Shields has the best mix of BJJ and wrestling in the sport, which is why he's an elite "grappler".

But to say he beat Shields with BJJ more than wrestling is ridiculous.

And to say Hendo is the better wrestler is almost as insane as you saying Scott Smith is a better striker than Paul Daley :: ::

Who cares if Shields is an olympian and division 1 wrestler? We're talking about how good they're wrestling is here and now, in MMA.

Is GSP an Olympian or division 1 wrestler? No he isn't, but he's the best wrestler in MMA, and a much better wrestler than Dan Henderson.

 

I know the difference exactly, it's pretty obvious.

What you're trying to say is that BJJ has integrated more wrestling techniques, well guess what, that's still wrestling, and what Shields used to beat Dan was still mostly wrestling.

You said Smith was a better striker. Which is insane. Daley's striking is on another level to Scotty boy.

 

EDIT:

 

I think Shields' ability to out-wrestle Henderson had a lot more to do with Hendo's shitty conditioning than being a better wrestler. Henderson gassed hard in that fight.

 

And that's not true. I have friend who is a Jiu-Jitsu blackbelt and he teaches Jiu-Jitsu. Not MMA fighting or submission grappling but just Jiu-Jitsu. There is not a single or double leg shot in ANYTHING he teaches. That is wrestling. Period.

It's like me saying boxing in MMA involves take downs. Bullshit. There is boxing and there is wrestling in MMA. Sure you work on both at an MMA gym, but it doesn't mean Freddie Roach is NOW teaching take downs because boxing has evolved. That is absolute horseshit.
