I created a grappler and pretty much threw all of my points into grappling, ground and pound, and submission (both offense and defense). I built up a pretty damned tough grappler. I made it to the UFC undefeated, and then won 5 or 6 bouts with ease against both strikers and grapplers. I had excellent take-down offense and I didn't have much take-down defense because once we were on the ground I could quickly gain the dominant position. I continued to fight and win against 16 - 20 ranked fighters. Then suddenly, I started losing every single bout against strikers. Normally I wouldn't be so angry about that, but every time I lost, it was to submission and I had excellent submission defense and these strikers were not grapplers at all.
