I agree there are different games being played in boxing and MMA, are you suggesting that it isn't a good fit for an MMA encounter? IF this is what you are saying, is it fair to assume that we woudn't want to commit two arms in that scenario as the other guy may go for a takedown? What is the reasoning? I'm trying NOT to read anything into your comments, so I am simply asking.
If both your arms are high and extended, that does open you up a bit for a shoot. I was thinking more that if your arms are half extended and elbows away from the body that allows a wrestler to tie up and get inside your striking range with good standing controls. You WC skills may be good and you fast, but a wrestler has his own version of chi sao called handfighting and he may have good skills at this range.
