It just seems funny that the guy who brought one tool whooped the ass of the guy who supposedly has a multi dimensional tool box.

I guess knowing how to use a hammer real well is better than being a putz with all the expensive equipment.
The reverse can happen too, KOTF.

Prime example is Kimbo vs. Ray Mercer. Kimbo has used his basic, multi-purpose MMA tool set to take apart Mercer, the master of the hammer.

Ultimately, it comes down to whomever can use their tools first and foremost, against their opponent's weakness.

Technically speaking, gong-fu probably has the most tools available - everything from forms, medicine/healing, full-contact fighting (sanda/shuaijiao), self-defense (qin-na) - but seeing as we only have 24 hours a day, we have to choose 2 areas at best to become the SME.
