Again, this is something fighters do now, but something that could be better. The fence is almost like having a weapon if you're skilled at using it. If you make it a specialty and train in methods that are specifically geared toward using the fence against your opponents, you take away the comfort zone in the outside range and around the outside of the cage. Another advantage - like using terrain in street fights, for example.

mma fighters do wall drills all the time now. its become an area of fighting of its own. you start with one parter held up against the wall, and you both fight for position and try to get the other guy up against the wall, reversing positions and trying to score takedowns and strikes in between etc..... it has SD value as well inmop...
the idea isnt new though. i remember back in the day in tkd and karate they would teach us techniques that utilized the walls as a weapon. like throwing people into walls, slamming the heads into walls etc....
