Forced to be a fan of a totally one-dimensional MMA fighter, I always choose the grappler. I can't stand one dimensional strikers in MMA largely due to the just bleed fans that were not interested in no hold barred fighting prior to MMA!
We old timers have been there and done this for you. After UFC 3 no such thing as a NHB fight fan that DID NOT understand one-dimensional grappling beats one-dimensional striking every fucking time! The only question became what grappling discipline was the best, Sambo, BJJ or Wrestling).
FFS, One dimensional strikers were so pathetic in NHB fighting that pretty much all rule changes after UFC 3 starting with the referee standup was in an effort to give the striker the slimmest of chances in a NHB contest. Even that failed miserably, and forced striker to cross train!
