i've read as much of the thread as i could stomach at one go which was a little over half, so forgive me if this has been brought up.
Uke, i actually agree with quite a bit you have to say (i feel like i'm going to ostricize myself saying that!) But i don't really see the point of pointing out that MMA guys get beat in K-1 or strictly grappling tournies. Maybe they are jacks of all trades and masters of none, but if you're going to bring up the SD issue, i think it's actually a much bigger folly to master one trade and neglect the others.
In the realm of sports, why is it more admirable to master a smaller skillset?
The rules of boxing or K-1 or bjj tournaments are more contrived than MMA rules in terms of "reality" vs sport.
