Sean Sherk has great wrestling because more often than not he can take the fight where he wants it. He also has a good MMA-BJJ top game because he can control, and pass to side control by setting-up with strikes. BJJ takes over when the fight hits the ground, wrestling is the means of getting it there although the line between the two is very thin.
i don't agree that bjj takes over when the fight hits the ground....at least not in every case....brock used great wrestling control on heath to hold him in a turtled position and not allow him to scramble out...while landing strikes....it depends on the fighter....and as a fedor fan, isn't sambo and other martial arts also effective when the fight gets to the ground as well?

i was reading through this thread and someone said gsp doesnt have good gaurd passing.

gsp has the best passing in mma and its only getting better with every fight.

plus george has greg jackson in his corner unlike the first fight.

That's a rare example of an MMA fight becoming a collegiate wrestling match.

Sambo and BJJ are very similar, if you want to get technical then I'll say "submission grappling" instead of BJJ. Either way, it's not pure wrestling.

Let's not get too carried away with GSP's advantages over BJ in striking and his ability on the ground.

He has been beating guys like Hughes, Koscheck etc who are predominantly wrestlers with average striking and pretty much have no idea how to work off their back (because they are so very rarely in that position).

I honestly don't know who is going to win this fight. I'm leaning towards George right now because I still have concerns on BJ fighting at 170.
