Russian army wrestling celebrates its 70th anniversary

The sport which combines different ethnic styles of wrestling, and takes its name from the Russian words for 'Unarmed Self-Defence' began in the Soviet Union in 1938. It is now so popular that the Russian army teaches it as its primary self-defence method.

@Gregk82 ummm, put them in an mma ring u go 31-1 FEDOR... and guess what he majors in... SAMBO!!

[angrygunsmith]

yeh i guess so. but dno bout steroids, he was always big, even in college, so that might just be genetics. but he may hav e used tehm in wwe, wouldnt be suprising

[Gregk82]

brock has no mma skills... only reason he wins is because ufc hws arent great and that guy is a giant steroid mountain and puts his weight on oppenent + his ground and pound is deadly but easily countered by skilled fighter.. he's sad.. no matter who he wins..he will never be a real mma legend

[angrygunsmith]

well in a reccent turn of events brock lesnar entered the mma stage, and he did alright, not incredibly, but alright. he didnt get demolished. but he was an ex collegiate wrestler so maybe that has some repercussions.

"Pro wrestling started in Europe! How do you think a Frenchman like Andre the Giant got started?"

Pro wrestling was invented in America.

Andre got his start in Canada

[Gregk82]

yup.. but it wasnt mma :P and besides its good for him to get owned from time to time.. or else he'll become lazy

[watcinmetodi]
