Basically. What wrestlers do you think are the most dangerous in a real fight? Out of guys with fighting experience or just regular wrestlers.


My vote goes to Masada. A taekwando black belt (or equivalent if Taekwando doesn't have belts) and he hits like a bazooka. He's knocked people out with one punch in the ring multiple times without meaning it. Based on all this Mazada has my vote. Bobby Fish is also up there. Tomahawk TT and Eita Kobayashi also hit like trucks.

Brock Lesnar for sure. Masada is only 5'8 I don't think Brock would have a problem taking him out.

Honorable mention is Kurt Angle.

Suzuki also has legit MMA history. He founded Pancrase or something like that. Also Sakuraba and Nakamura.

It was founded by Suzuki and Masakatsu Funaki, another wrestler to add to the list. Shamrock might have competed there I dunno.

Brock would destroy any of those tiny guys. His fist is the size of their heads.

Wasn't Brock proven to be a pretty bad MMA fighter overall? He won most of his matches because he could take more punishment than his opponents in my opinion.

Shamrock, Funaki and Suzuki then founded a group of pro wrestlers and decided to pursue marketable legitimate matches. They formed a promotion called Pancrase, named by ’60s wrestling star Karl Gotch after the sport of Pankration in the ancient Olympics, which combined all different forms of fighting into one sport.[3] Using pro-wrestling rules – no closed fisted punching to the head (closed fisted punches were allowed to the body), breaks on the ropes, but fighting for real – Shamrock beat his friend and mentor, MMA legend Masakatsu Funaki by arm-triangle choke in the main event of the very first Pancrase show on September 21, 1993.[3] The show attracted a sell-out audience of 7,000.[3]

I think Ken was a founder too judging by that.

Quite the opposite, the thing going against him is he didn't like getting hit by guys close to his size. Against little guys though, I don't think that'd be a problem. He also has internal organ issues, so he had to quit.

He had a strong ground takedown but was a bit sloppy on the ground if you could deal with his ground and pound (very difficult when he was on top of you however). Look at how Mir caught him with the kneebar in their first match all because he made a mistake. To do what he did in such a short amount of time was phenomenal though. D'Z is your man if you want a proper MMA opinion though.

I remember him being rated pretty badly as an MMA fighter. His size obviously speaks to his advantage but what happens when he is put with a smaller guy who just doesn't care about size and packs a mean punch? We have seen such things happen before in history.

He got smashed by Carwin and kept coming back, Overeem was a strong striker and Brock ran into him too. Hell look at how he lost to Cain going for the double leg too early before getting pounded on. He didn't duck challenges his stand up just wasn't great, he was a good boxer but not elite like his takedowns were. Once Brock got on top of you the odds were he'd finish it, yep I have sympy for Sable too.
