Recently, I read online that if a grappler fights a striker, the grappler is usually the one who decides whether the fight stays standing or goes to the ground. And if it ends up on the ground, the grappler has the advantage and will most likely win.
Isn’t that exactly what we saw the other day in the octagon in the fight between Ronda Rousey and Gina Carano?
I won’t go too deeply into that matchup — Gina Carano had already left MMA before Ronda Rousey even started her MMA career, and there are some other factors to consider — but when I watched that 17-second fight, I immediately remembered that quote.
Just to say: I've always been a fan of boxing and striking martial arts, and I still enjoy them. I never really liked grappling until I attended my first Jiu-Jitsu class eight months ago.
