Houston and rosholt are nothing alike. so no that comparison is not valid…. you cant just look at records or stats.. styles really do make fights, and this one is simple great wrestler vs great striker. whoever can implement there gameplan will win.

Rosholt is the closest thing to a Caveman walking this earth. He should be on the Geico commercials.

I think GSP is by far the best wrestler in mma and he has no collegiate or high school wrestling background

Sakara got destroyed by Houston – just watch this if you don’t remember. http://www.myvideofight.com/video/ufc/ufc-75-houston-alexander-vs.-alessio-sakara/index-5.html

And back then Houston didn’t have a much longer record than Rosholt has now. I’ve never seen Rosholt fight though so I don’t know if the comparison is valid. But the fact that they’re putting Sakara against some 5-0 guy means that he’s probably not having the best streak of his lifetime.

I think your confusing sakara with someone else.
They never fought, they have never been in the same division.

If sakara can stop the takedowns he should win this fight easily.

Diego Sanchez is also an oustanding wrestler, and I don’t think he managed a takedown on Sakara during their entire fight. I think Sakara can stay on his feet and batter Rosholt around the cage.

rosholt got destroyed in the WEC fight and was lucky to win. his stand up game is a joke. he was getting made to look like a fool. sakara should be able to put him out if he practices takedown defence and getting up.

rosholt’s cardio didn’t look that great either, compared to a lot of the other “wrestler mma fighters” that I can’t stand. sakara isn’t known as a cardio machine either, though, so it’s probably a scratch.
