I train to fight the MMA ... how to take care of the shoot, how to handle the Thai kick, good punching. I can tell when I'm fighting a Thai Boxer by his guard or tendencies. Of course, each person's flavor is there own, but you have to know what technique is out there and how to beat it.
I also have no qualms in saying some styles are more geared for turning out effective fighters and that BJJ is my sworn enemy :) .... they made it this way, not me.
