Thats the idea mate, its mixed martial arts so a mixture of EVERYTHING. Once you know understand more about the ground game (grappling, submissions, control and technique etc) it makes it just as good to watch as an all out stand up fight in my opinion.

Thats the beauty of UFC. You never know whats going to happen, unlike boxing where its the same old stuff, a few punches, then they hug, then the ref splits them up and so on. Unlike boxing, the referees interfere far less, in fact usually only when there not improving position, or if a guy is knocked out.
