MMAs gonna keep progressing. I would say pretty much every year is a developing year. Boxing's been here for a LONG time, MMAs only been here for a little under 20 years.

The problem with comments like "teach basic takedown defense" or "any boxer is going to know how to sprawl" is like saying "anybody's gonna know how to jab"

There's a lot more to sprawling than shooting your legs backwards and pushing your hips down. To further this point..it's near impossible to find a world class boxing trainer who can understand how to train a fighter for understanding kicks, knees, takedowns. It's a common complaint. It's not something anyone can do.
