Wrestlers are really good at hand-to-hand combat as well. Probably better than a lot of people think. The moves a top wrestler can potentially pull on someone are lethal and fast.

The wrestler will beat the striker in a MMA match.

A friend of mine was a really good wrassler before he took a shotgun blast that impaired his left arm and leg. I watched him take down and disable a guy that wanted to fight him. Don't screw around with boxers, wrestlers or hockey players.

When I was 18, I had won golden gloves 2x and was a brown belt. A wrestler who regularly attended the Iowa summer camp who was also the Illinois champ for his weight class joined our karate classes.
We became good friends, but I soon found out, that with all my skills, this guy could take me down, lock me up, and choke the breath out of me in a heartbeat.
My respect for wrestlers grew infinitely at that point.
He was more of an athlete than I could ever hope to be. Incidentally, he DID go off to join the SEALS, that was back in the mid 80's and was a gentleman through and through.
