as far as i know, the sprawl is for defence against a shoot from a distance only, you cant use it in a clinch coz you are already "locked up" and cant move your body much?
Nope. A sprawl is a reaction to a shot. Wherever the shot comes from, you can react to it in a number of ways depending on the circumstance. Sprawling is one possible reaction. How you will react will depend on how he is trying to take you down (among other things). You oughta be considering how you will take him down.
