i was just thinking about this the other night
its "mixed" martial arts and its unfair to the ground guys that they always have to get the fight to the ground. the strikers always get to start the fight where they prefer
why not, like they did on my high school wrestling team, start the fighters in various positions
it could be decided by coin flip
for example, some other positions to start could be 1 fighter on top in full guard, 1 fighter on top side control, 1 fighter on top with the other fighters back, etc. that way the strikers are forced to adapt and at the same time its more fair to the jiu jitsu guys too
the fighters would get into the mandatory position then the ref would give them the signal when they were in their proper place
thoughts?
