I'm sure you all know this, but the UFC was basically created to prove that bjj is superior to other martial arts. It was new to many fighters of different backgrounds, and caught a lot of guys off guard. I'm from Detroit, and I don't know how Burma is, but it does sound similar. Fist fights turn to shoot outs very quick, and knives are very common. I try to avoid trouble nowadays, but I will stand my ground. I survived the streets with a sprawl and brawl style. I went to highschool in the suburbs, and since I was a black belt in TKD, a lot of guys from the wrestling team would get some liquid courage at parties, and start fights. Some of these guys were state champions, but with precise, well timed striking, and a good take down defense, they weren't a problem. I'm not saying wrestling is inferior, but without a ban on striking the back and back of the head, it's a lot more dangerous to shoot for a take-down. I've had my ass beat a couple times too, but that was usually getting jumped or being hit with a heavy object. I am by no means trying to sound tough on the internet, but these are just lessons I've learned from real life dangerous situations.
