It does not matter, really.
You will need to learn both to succeed.
You might favour grappling over striking for e.g. but you will need to know both in order to compete in NHB.
You will not know wich style you favour until you train in both.
The ideal would be 50% striking and 50% grappling.
Or more like work on the style you are not so good at.
If you grappling with little striking background, opponent will keep a stand up game and vice-versa for the striker that has little grappling base.
There are execptions.
