I thought both kids showed pretty impressive MMA skills for their age and no training. Do you guys not remember the fights you got in in school? I remember plenty of fights that I was in and watched at that age, and none of them looked like that. You saw double leg shots, punches thrown to set up those shots, excellent sprawl, and good basic grappling.
I don't condone the behavior because I do think it is very dangerous, but I'm sure we can all in very short order come up with dumber and more dangerous things we did in our youth.
So, guys: You look like you have some talent. Get through school, pursue your wrestling, and then when you graduate you can look at your options for MMA training and you'll have a good wrestling acumen to build from.
