Whether it is used defensively like Conor McGregor does, defending takedowns and getting up quickly, or offensively like Khabib Nurmagomedov who takes his opponents to the ground again and again. Or think of Charles Oliveira, who can kickbox freely because no one wants to take him down because of his world-class submissions.
