I think you kind of missed my point - I did point out that guys like GSP are good on the ground, but how the fights have been won lately seems to lean toward striking, and avoiding takedowns. Look how each won their titles?

I'm not calling GSP a striker, clearly he has a ground game, but it's not how he beat Hughes. Nor how Liddell won his title, Sylvia or Silva.

And yes, it is "MMA" but all won their titles without ANY true ground game in their fights (unless you count avoiding takedowns as ground game!)
