You know you got a striking match when...

[xMaxPower]

1) When the striker's TDD is too good for the wrestler. (Aldo vs Frankie)

2) When the wrestler doesnt want to take it to the ground. (Woodley vs Maia, Werdum vs Cain, Werdum vs Overeem)

3) When its 2 pure strikers with shitty takedowns (Max vs Pettis)

Am I missing any other scenario?

 

[Sonny Qc]

When you got 2 HW with mostly street fighting background

Low level MMA
Or
(Kimbo Vs Tank )

 

[BigMuffler]

When both are grapplers but one has much worse striking and not good enough wrestling to get to the ground.

The better grappler is brain damaged(Diego Sanchez)

 

[Matt Hutchings]

When you want a cigarette?

Holloway has good takedwns and Pettis decent, but his tdd is weak
