If you can't fight close and standing you can't win because you can't get me on the ground.
Meet me 35 years ago. You will be on the ground. If you dont really clobber a wrestler when hews going for a take down your on the ground no two ways about it. Just ask Mohamed Ali how bad he got hurt taking on a wrestler. I think the match didnt even last a minute before he was his the way to the hospital

My understanding of fish hooking means using your leg to pull someone else's out from under them, standard eastern move cut out of UFC
Ive seen this done quite often there.

small joint manipulation if this includes wrists and ankles how the hell am I supposed to pin your attacks properly
What are you talking about? Ankle locks and wrist locks are commonly used as subbmission holds there.

And why can't I hold your gloves?
What gloves? UFC uses tiny gloves that donet even have fingers. Heck they even allow choking.
