Here's the deal with strikers winning in the cage: Getting stood up is the worst thing that ever happened to BJJ and by extension real fighting in MMA. It's totally false that when nothing exciting is happening on the ground, the fighters get stood back up. In reality they would stay on the ground until the striker is able to get HIMSELF back up on his feet, which is a damn hard thing to do against a good BJJ man. What would happen most of the time is that the striker would eventually get tired and get submitted, or he would get wild trying desperately to get back to his feet and he would get submitted. Royce would NEVER have beaten Dan Severn with the current rules.
Without adding in the rule about being stood back up, every fighter would still be a BJJ practitioner first and foremost and a striker second. This: "a pure bjj practicioner (bb or not) would get hurt badly against a well rounded fighter with ZERO formal (gi/belt system) training" is just silly. A bjj bb would absolutely destroy any fighter with zero grappling training, 100% of the time.
