I know throwing the hands in boxing is different in MMA. SO what are the differences and what type of combos, techs, or drills should a person do to develop their hands for MMA.

Whenever they're standing (okay sweeping generalization) most are looking to throw bombs...MMA has a lot of wide looping hooks (ala chuck lidell)...I'm very interested to see a guy with very good hands come into mma...I'd like to see more straights within combinations, as well as body shots.

a big thing to think about is the fact that MMA gloves are NOT boxing gloves....there are way more holes you have to cover. and if you fluster someone with a stiff jab, that opens holes big enough to sneak in a hard hook, uppercut, or punch right through a flimsy gaurd with a hard cross.
