I've practiced both judo and greco roman wrestling and I've lately been wondering which one is used most in MMA competitions when it goes to the clinch. Why?
 
They're both pretty similar in their approach to fighting from the clinch. If I had to choose I'd go with wrestling since MMA is a non-gi sport and over/under hooks and body locks are more their thing. But that being said, it doesn't take much for a judoka to see what he needs to do to modify his techniques for non-gi competition. So in the end I don't know if the one has any real advantages over the other.
