Many times when we talk about fighting, we hear the statement, "90% of all fights end up on the ground." What are everyones thoughts on this? While I understand that in a MMA event, this would apply more, considering the goal is submission, but when your life is on the line, I'd think that your feet would be the best place to be. I'm certainly not against having some ground skill, as I feel that its best to be skilled in all ranges. In addition, if you did find yourself on the ground, having the knowledge on how to safely and properly get back to your feet is a plus.
