Answer 2

They all have their own benefits, and own special techniques, but I love to sprawl and brawl. I love it when someone tries to take me down to the ground, this allows me to get them in a clinch hold and go to town on their body with knees, then their face with elbows, then I am the one that gets to pick them up and slam them down as hard as possible, mount them and pound the hell out of their face while they at this point have absolutly no energy to continue and are in a constant panic state of mind.
