If you take a real look at NHB/octogon fights, you'll notice one thing really quickly. It's all the same body type. It's all huge guys. I was very serious about my comment about teenage girls. You don't see them in the octogon. You barely see any women at all. Nor do you see ectomorphic body types, nor kids or older people, nor people with anything but a wrestler's body. So of course wrestling succeeds there. You don't have to be a martial artist to be a great fighter. You just have to be a big dude. Big dudes don't need martial arts. But, and here's the logic flaw, what if you're not a big dude? Most of us aren't. I'm a dude, but I'm under 6 feet and less than 150 (on a good day
). If I have to fight a big dude, there's no way I'd wrestle him. He'd out bulk me.
As tempted as you might be, don't be tricked by half-nekkid men mounting each other. Consider the needs of teenage girls.
