the only advantage a grappler has in the octagon/ring is the fact that they are in a closed area.
grappling is a huge threat to stand up fighters in and out of the ring. espcially gung fu fighters because of the fact that once our connection with the ground is gone, we are screwed. in the real world, if your lucky to be outside while in a confrontation, then you can dodge a shoot all day, but that is nothing, a grappler doesnt have to shoot to grab you, and once they get in the clinch its over unless you know how to defend against them.
most NHB fighters are skilled in standup moreso then in grappling, well i should say the good ones. all the best gravitate towards standup fighting like muy thai, because its very good and very easy to train. these well rounded fighters nowadays outclass the grapplers of old like the gracies or the shoot fighters.
to say the octagon favors grapplers because of the slippery floor is ridiculous. for one you can wear shoes, and two its not that slippery, many many fighters avoid the shoot, most times when people get taken down its from the clinch, just like in the "real world". as for the gloves people get cut in NHB more then any other sport and to act like thats a severe hindrance to your abilitys is laughable, because obviously if thats a concern you dont have any skills, they are all in your mind, lolo
