hmmm, intresting.

You really think a grappler, someone who does his best work on the ground 1 on 1 would really do well in a street fight with multiple people involved?

I dont think they would do as well as ya think rolling around on the ground with multiple people involved. Ive seen top of the line hot head NCAA wrestlers get their asses kicked by a group of 2-3 street negros in the park blocks by the mall.

He didnt look too tough outside his 1 on 1 element.

He did stick to his method of staying on the ground though as he was getting his head kicked in.

The best fighting skills are ones that can adapt to different environments. Back in the day of hand to hand combat, the Asain martial arts ruled. It was war. Multiple warriors fighting all at once. Not sure how well a grapler on the ground would do in a war situation of this fighting era of the past, back when hand to hand combat was the way of war.

Obviously these kung-fu and Karate styles are now obsolete for lacking the abilty to evolve and adapt to this newest craze of in ring one on one fighting, but dont think that the 1 on 1 ring fighting you see on UFC can adapt to well to an outside environment and display the same results as it could in a ring either.

Putting these 3 in a no holds barred street fight would be intresting. Maybe throw in a Navy Seal or someone trained to handle multiple oppenents to the mix and we got outselves a fight!

But Id have to agree, Tito is a beast.. Id put my $$ on him too, but I dont think he's a sure bet in a situation like this as you may think.
