I'm not sure whether this belongs in the grappling or striking discussion slot.
But basically from what I've seen this combo is about as useful as a boxing and wrestling combo, perhaps even moreso for a real fight.
One reason is because in open space, there is no cutting off and forcing your opponent in a corner. Another is the idea of the green zone red zone self defense strategy of the Gracie's.
Rolling into leg locks really seems to help you be able to throw kicks freely out of boxing range, as an opponent is likely afraid to take you down and if you fall down you aren't really in a bad position. Unlike frankie vs yair.
Also really powerful kicks can be so debilitating that an opponent becomes easier to take down as they rush in rather than avoiding the clinch and boxing as was the case in kron vs cub.
Plus there is the whole bareknuckle aspect (see bkfc) and the non compliant opponent aspect (see schaub vs cyborg).
Thoughts?
