Yeah, well..after this part:
I kind of stopped reading.If you can understand the difference between sports fighting and reality-based street survival where anything goes and there are no rules, you will get the most out of this article.
Why?
Well, since the VAST MAJORITY of MMA fighters I know ALL have street fighting backgrounds AND are trained fighters ON TOP OF THAT, it seems that having a POV that ASSUMES that your opponent doesn't know the difference between two things that EVERYONE else does, is a very stupid POV to have, and one that may well get you beaten into a pulp.
Good luck with that though.
