As GSP (or someone else) was quoted as saying "fighters train for fights, martial artists train all year round".... Or words to that effect.
Sort of got me thinking about MMA fighters. MMA is such a wide rule set that most fighters specialise in a few aspects. So do they become efficient martial artists? Some guys like that could maybe not teach as much as someone who hasn't fought for instance. Like Chuck Liddell. Retired and got his purple belt in BJJ. He could probably teach a lot about striking but his skI'll set is obviously very limited.
Then I think about boxing and how most good pros can probably teach every aspect of boxing if they wanted.
What do you guys reckon? Also, is it better to be a highly specialised fighter or a good well rounded fighter?
