It was for many years the wisdom that you had to be great in all areas a true "mixed martial artist" to be successful and you really saw an evolution with fighters like GSP, Mighty Mouse, Jon Jones from guys like Royce and Liddell who really were only good at one aspect and just so good they could impose their will. Now at 170 the champ is a wrestling sprawl and brawler, and the top 2 contenders are a bjj specialist and the karate kid. All 3 fighters only learned how to defend against other styles but dont even pretend to be multifaceted. You watch them fight you know exactly what they are going to do.
Is this an evolution in MMA? or a step back?
