Jeffries wrestled against world Greco-Roman champion Ernest Roeber, and was heavyweight boxing champion in an era when 'dirty boxing' was fairly routine, and clinch fighting was extensive. Not often do you see a fighter good at both grappling and standup to the degree that Jeffries was.

So, how does he do today in MMA?

He does very damn well, sort of a HW prime Jens Pulver, or an early Randy Couture, those are the two closest examples I can think of. Pulver for the way he blends boxing with offensive and defesive wrestling, Randy for similar reasons but moreso for his thinking and conditioning.
