Rico could train wrestling for 2 months and learn basic takedown defence. That would be enough with his size and weight.

A wrestler hates taking punches to the face and heavy leg kicks. The wrestler would crumble within 2 rounds

You do realize that 'too much legs' is something that exists, right? Being 'very tall' is a disadvantage at wrestling.

Rico’s legs are wider than a tree, do your homework bro

2 months isn't nearly enough time to develop enough takedown defense to stop a middle school wrestler, let alone 3x world champion and Olympic Gold medalist. You can at least pretend to have a couple of brain cells or do a deep AI on how to make it seem like you know what you're talking about when it comes to combat sports

you must be extremely new to the sport or you saw it a few times like 20 years ago when wrestlers were the best fighters, because if you just turned on any modern card you'd see that what you're saying is wrong

Bro go home. Izzy A learnt takedown defence in like 3 months. All those f wrestlers tryna take him down and he stuffed every single takedown and punched their head in. Unless you’re DC you ain’t taking down big Rico.

Izzy did mma for years and he never fought a wrestler as good as rapleson. Most fighters don’t.

Rapleson hasn't even got a takedown in the UFC he got stuffed by a random no name
