Yep, there are more than a few guard specialists in MMA. More than the "danger" of being on the bottom, the current scoring of MMA makes it less used - in Japanese MMA it was pretty common for guys to win from the bottom using elbow strikes and threatening subs.
The guard is getting less and less relavent as athletes learn they can just stand up and walk away
I train athletes to stand up, walk away, put their hands up and dance around like rocky...the butt scooter is embarrassed and will stand up...plus everybody in the crowd knows whos winning and will boo the scooter (easy round)
Especially if you throw a few hard shots 1st
