Spoken by a guy who probably never stepped foot on a mat. It takes years to develop a game in one area of expertise. The MMA fighter usually knows three. Stand up (Boxing/Muay Tai) take downs (wrestling/Judo) Ground submissions (BJJ/Sambo) Probably 10 years at least in take downs and grappling alone to be proficient on the ground at that level. Now add in the time needed to develop decent strikes and you have an MMA fighter. All fighters train hard. Only a keyboard fighter would make a comment like that.
