Although i dont have extensive MMA training i did spend a while at a couple of MMA gyms and i completely owned them in standup..

I know what you mean. In some areas, MMA stand up is lacking and I've experienced the same - but it depends on the gym really. I'd wager that MMA fighters who train at Fairtex are rock solid in there stand up game.

Agreed. I made the exact same observation. MMA was built from the ground up, literally since that's where fights were originally won.

Its too early to tell and no one has brought the skill set into the octagon. It might not work, but we'll never know until someone works at it and uses it.
