Freestyle is actually a weak wrestling base (IMHO) for MMA. Greco, Judo, Sambo, American Folkstyle, even Collar and Elbow is better.

David Jones

Chads area of expertise is actually greco-roman. And hey if you would like to come down to NG, you can tell him yourself your opinions on freestyle for MMA.

I'd love to, but I'm 3600 miles away! Freestyle positives include The Russian and moves off of it, and takedown defense. Weaknesses include matwork (see Matsuyenko vs Ortiz), free stands you up too fast (to keep action going) to develop a strong mat game.

Gene Mills, a great free and folkstyle wrestler, has some videos showing how wrestling moves are applicable for MMA at genemills.com. See:
