Ground-and-pound Usually performed with a throw or a takedown, a fighter can use this hybrid style to put his opponent on the ground. This style can also be used as a preliminary to submission holds, and the fighter assumes that he as the dominant force and uses his fists to strike the opponent. The ground-and-pound style is usually used by the fighters that are experienced with submission defense and takedowns. The fighters usually assume a grappling position and keep striking the opponent until he quits. Even though it is not an original style of striking, some fighters use this style often. Fighters may also use this style in their training sessions. Sprawl-and-brawl Ground fighting is not allowed in this style, which comes from the stand-up fighting method. To protect themselves against takedowns, fighters may implement sprawls. A fighter has to be trained in wresting in order to be effective in this style. A fighter should learn submission wresting to prevent submission in a match. The fighters don`t want to be forced into a submission even when they end up on the ground. Fighters should adjust the method in which they perform things if they want to use the sprawl-and-brawl method. Submission grappling The technique in which a fighter implements a throw or a takedown to get his opponent on the ground is called submission grappling. This is followed by a submission hold, which will usually bring the victory for the person who performs it. While some fighters will look to fight from other angles, some fighters may try to be the dominant ones. A grappler will usually attempt to get the opponent on the ground in a dominant position in case he can`t implement a takedown. Lay-and-Pray The technique used to control an opponent who is on the ground is called lay-and-pray. Anyway, there is no effective offense that can be practiced by the fighter. The only hope would be to win by reversing their opponent`s offense. Some fighters may end up being penalized while performing this technique, since the referee may consider the fact that the fighter is calling a bluff.
