Migliarese demonstrated absolutely zero take down ability. What he did, and what top BJJ BBelts are excellent at is taking advantage of transitions once the fight hits the ground.
If there were no Gi's (or jackets in cold climates like Texas and Florida) and punching were involved from a decent striker the outcome would have ben very different.
Also, the Sambo guy made many many mistakes, from being too upright to not setting up and executing his takedowns properly. A decent wrestler would execute single legs on him all day long. Look at the 1:11 to 1:13 footage. That is a Judo takedown he uses at the 1:16 mark (and does not finish properly).
It would never work with a wrestler/boxer.
Migliarese is an absolute wizard on the ground. Beautiful top mount triangle. However, he would have to have excellent striking, because I do not see any evidence of him being able to get someone to the mat.
You do understand real fights start on the feet and involve punching and kicking, yes?
