There's been successful transitions among a few Japanese wrastlers. thats a different sports culture altogether though. I know Butterbean, killed Sean O'hare in like 2 minutes. I don't think thier training is up to snuff to compete with true mma pros. Brock is a freak though, and the fight should be somewhat entertaining(depending on how inexperienced his opponent is)...but put him in against any competent mma heavyweight, and i dont think his natural ability will take him too too far. kurt angle thinks he could beat tito ortiz, which is not only a joke, but an insult. he wouldn't fair well in mma either. guys like matt lindland make the transition from wrestler to mma pro look easy. true blue wrestlers like mark kerr, mark coleman, kevin randleman are not top fighters anymore, sad to say...and kurt angle certainly wouldnt do better than any of these guys. so, in a nut shell, wrastlers are wrastlers, and fighters are fighters.
(didnt mean to confuse anyone with wrestlers/wrastlers) true wrestling is an awesome background to have going into mma.
