This is an old argument by those who don't know ground fighting. I have a better chance of controlling it on the ground than a fighter who doesn't. If you don't train for all ranges of fighting, then you will never be a complete fighter.

I'm training for my first MMA fight 5 days a week, and rarely get a black eye, contusions, etc... It's training, not all out fighting.
