Volkanovski began greco roman wrestling at an early age and won a national title twice by age 12. He stopped at age 14 and then continued Greco roman wresting when he was 22 while has was playing Rugby. So yeah you're incorrect. Volk has a wrestling base, not Rugby.

He thinks greco-roman isn't a martial art but a sport.

Hahahahaha, what would Plato say to that guy?

It's a sport foremost. It's good for fighting but it doesn't make you wear pajamas and pay stupid money for rainbow belts at a strip mall

Rugby league is 80 minutes of solid men hitting each other with a running start. Their tough as nuts but often complete CTE lunatics.

ironically I know someone who left my judo dojo and became a state rugby champ by using judo throws on the field

Yeah but it's still one of the most effective combat style son the planet? Boxing is a sport first too. This is a trash point. An MMA base of lacrosse isn't turning you into a world champion in 6 years.

Yeah no shit. Something you do every day for hours that is physically exhausting makes you better at aggression and endurance than taking punchy kicky classes once or twice a week for two hours....

Exercise is key to combat prowess very obviously, something completely ignored nowadays, where you can just eat the cherry of the cake without even trying the cake.

Greco-Roman wrestling is a traditional martial art.

Whittaker's base is traditional karate though, which goes against OP's narrative.

Another obvious bait thread, don't reply. OP is just trolling.
