BJJ straight up is way different than MMA though. There is a big difference between worrying about a cross-face coming at you when you go in for a double leg take down and a guy sprawling and then pounding your face into the ground.
A lot changes when you take punching and kicking out of the equation.
Things would be a lot different if you took submissions out of the equation as well. If we did just straight wrestling then I would burying the hell out of this kid. He may have decent grappling skills, but the majority of his defensive experience is on his back in a guard. Where I come from, in the land of wrestling, that is called being pinned.
Submissions would be the key to this kid's victory against most men. If you can neutralize that then most men should be able to beat the crap out of him. That is obviously a big if though.
Also, please note that I said "men."
