from what i see in ufc, its not easy to apply jujitsu.

u really need to know the mechanics of the body, if you're pinned in a position, how to get out of it and reverse the lock on the opponent. how to do 1/2 guard, full guard, how to protect your head from getting beaten in.

to be fully functional in a fight, you need both striking and grappling skills. but i think striking easier to learn

nowadays most fighters are hybrid.

grappling rules in a pure 1v1 if u can take down the fella, but chances are you'll need to strike as not many situations are 1v1.

benjo80 SG

It depends on the fighter and how well it fights and the way he trains

I've got no idea why you posted 2 different links in 2 different forums. Since the link here doesn't work... and the one in the Martial Arts forum works...

Here you go...

Erm actually grappling arts like BJJ and Catch/Submission Wrestling dominated the UFC when it was first set up, but eventually standup fighters got wiser and learnt how to defend against the takedown and even win upsets.

Nowadays, it's all about being well rounded... you need a good set of both striking and grappling skills, need to know enough of how to play your strongest points against your opponent's weakest points as well. If your opponent is like some BJJ black belt while you're just basic in grappling, it would be in your interest to use your grappling skills to keep the fight on your feet.

Striking of course is easier to learn, but you need a good ground game at the end of the day. Actually learning to strike in the clinch and on the ground are very important things and they help ease the transition from pure distance striking to grappling. So yeah, it depends on how creative you are.

haha got Kage Bushin anot Laughing

hmm but BJJ only useful in 1 on 1 situations. more than that its not to your favour already.

stellazio SG

yeah royce gracie made bjj known to the world of martial arts thru his fights in the UFC.

after that the western fighters realized that stand up fight is not good enough and many of em incorporated grappling as their secondary style.

nowadays most fighters are hybrid.

stand up and strike, and if at a disadvantage, take em down.

Actually even in striking arts things are not in your favour when it's more then 1 on 1, and of course before you want to run must learn to crawl first... no point worrying about 10 people attacking you when you dun even know how to handle one guy grabbing you except to strike at him when it's easier to break his arm in one move, control him, and use him as a shield.

But yeah, standup is better for multiple opponents, but the idea is, unless you have no choice, never fight multiple opponents, just RUN!

Once again, depends on how creative you are... I certainly won't go all ne-waza if i have to face more then one guy, but I'll certainly use my grappling knowledge if it's relevant.
