Yeah, well he trains with Gunnar Nelson who has extremely good jits so I'm sure he'll be capable on the ground. I think you just underestimate how difficult it is to deal with wrestlers nowadays. There are jits guys who can. Charles Olivera, Jacare, Werdum etc, but submitting a wrestler who is just trying to stay heavy and get the occasional bit of ground and pound in is completely different from grappling with a jiu jitsu guy.
