Pride Fedor would've put any of those guys on their backs, we've still not seen someone combine throws with that kind of scrambling ability. Fedor was just so insanely quick when the fight went to the ground for that division that with his power there wasn't a man alive he couldn't toss around.

^^^ I'm thinking they are judging wrestling according to the traditional definition of wrestling i.e: double leg takedowns etc. Sambo has wrestling elements to it but it also has judo and other arts to it. Its a wrestling influenced art but not a pure wrestling style so Fedor loses points in ratings like these.
