Rules.

Wrestling guy seems to have more limitation beset by rules.

MMA isnt a "wrestling contest"
if you are in an MMA match and you can't stop your opponent from taking you down then you lose simply because he was able to control the pace and range of the fight.

On the other hand, if you continually stuff a wrestlers takedowns and keep him standing then you will win for the same reason.

So it actually CAN be a wrestling contest just as much as it can be ONLY a kickboxing match. Depends on the fighters.
