Style vs style has been answered from UFC 1 through 4. Grappling beats striking 9 out of 10 times.
Fast forward to the present, MMA beats grappling 9 times out of 10.
Damn old ass thread.

Is that what you observed last Saturday?
Because what I saw was grappling and wrestling help Sean Sherk win. In fact the only thing Franca could do is get a knee in at the beginning of each round and then lay on his back totally helpless for the rest of the round.
I think that no style is more dominant than any other, it all comes down to what strategy a fighter chooses to use given his opponents strengths. Personally if I was fighting against a standup guy, I'd take him to the ground so that he would be out of his element and not fighting the fight that he prepared for. In my opinion that is how most of the good all around fighters fight with a few exceptions.
