Win rate at UFC level by primary grappling base, 2023-2026: wrestlers win 61% of fights, BJJ practitioners win 54%, Muay Thai primary win 58%, boxing primary win 52%. The wrestling advantage is largest in the first round — 67% win rate — and decreases each round as cardio equalizes. This makes sense mechanically: wrestling allows fighters to control where the fight happens from the start, and dictating location is a durable advantage regardless of opponent skill. BJJ is more effective in round 3+ when everyone is tired and transitions to the floor are less defended. Pure BJJ vs pure wrestling, wrestling wins by position control.
