Grappling looks way cooler than a stupid head kick

Grappling looks stupid and gay that's why everyone in the world hated it and didn't take it seriously compared to boxing until ufc 1

Wrestling was WAY more popular as a spectator sport in the West until all matches turned into works.

No it's not. Matter of fact I think striking is so fucking gay and feminine.
>back up and jab
When wrestling you are the danger putting yourself into the danger which is why Dricus Du Plessis is the champ

I got 4 years of Muay Thai experience and 1 amateur fight. My only grappling experience is 2 weeks of training take down defense with my friend who does BJJ,(He is brown belt)
I plan to compete in an amateur MMA tournament. Do I have a chance of winning my fight?
I've seen the striking level of the guys who compete there and its absolute dogshit.

Cage size usually heavily favors grappling at the amateur level. If it's a ring, it'll depend a lot on how reset heavy your referee is. All that said, if you're not in an area known for its competitive wrestling, you'll probably be fine.

The grappling to pro wrestling pipeline was simply guys wanting to keep the money coming in without fucking their bodies up so bad without realizing faggots would overtake the sport (""sport"")

Real matches took very long and the performers were constantly injured, so they decided to start working the matches to make it easier for themselves and make the matches more exciting to watch, which brought in more money.
From there it quickly snowballed into the absurdity that is today's pro wrestling

Really focus on take down defense and escapes from mount/back in the time you have. You probably mog the fuck out of those guys striking so keep it standing at all costs. There are pro fighters who go far with the sane gameplan so it's certainly doable but training MMA where they can teach everything within that context is gonna be best.

Its exactly opposite. Rise of stand up game is associated with fact that strikers learned ground dense and its difficult to finish them off when they are in down position, many tools were banned. Fighters get raised and strikers get knockout chances again.
While if there are effective tools to finish downed opponent its last thing you want to do is rolling on the ground with better grapplers.

This, wrestling is incredibly boring to watch cause it's much slower and there's less cool flashy fast shit going on. Unfortunately, in our reality, boring shit is always the most effective shit, which is true in warfare, combat, economics, pretty much any meta

And even in UFC 1 the most entertaining parts was watching that dutch savate dude roudhouse kick the sumo guy in the face and any other fights with lots of striking. Literally fell asleep when it was just Royce Gracie laying on top of people slowly choking them with his bathrobe sleeve
