even Hughes had to learn a whole lot of new skills. His wrestling no doubt helped him but he would'nt have had the continued success he's experienced had he not cross trained in BJJ and striking. You also have to consider that Hughes entry into the sport took place many years ago when the level of competition was not so high. Mir is the real deal on the ground, its his lack of conditioning that has been his weakness. Brock on the other hand is all wrestling with limited exposure to BJJ. Mir should be able to exploit that by using set ups. Make Brock move into positions that favor Mir.
