I still think the rules of the poll are weighted against the grappler postion. Consider that a good grappler could two-leg takedown or hip throw or otherwise put an opponent down hard on the ground - then forcefully knee-to-stomach and stand right back up without ever really going to the ground himself.

In that case, the fight would likely be over (just being thrown on thier back on a hard surface is going to slow most people down), and all the skills employed are grappling skills.

My point is that many of the skills learned in grappling don't really require commitment to the floor unless your opponent is trained as well - in which case the variables become pointlessly large anyway.
