Headbutts, eye gouging, pressure point strikes, throat strikes, nut shots, and also small joint manipulation.
I can't understand why people think MMA resembles real fighting when TMAs train guys to do things like rip your trachea out of your neck. That would probably do a good job of negating the thai clinch.
Lots of TMAs basically train these exclusively and that might be why some TMAs look so different than what we're used to. I don't think MMA striking would look anything at all resembling what it does when guys get proficient at using new footwork and combinations to optimize all these.
