And my last word on the MMA vs. Traditional Martial Arts debate:

Is the best UFC champion the best Mixed Martial Artist on the planet? And does being a Traditional Martial Artist preclude cross training? The OP stated the martial artist was asian for some reason. If he meant that they only train in striking, then they'd be at a disadvantage, but there are as many kinds of asian martial arts as there are other kinds. Don't forget that two thirds of the term Brazilian Jiu Jitsu is Japanese. Many traditional Jiu Jitsu experts would argue that BJJ is a bastardization of Judo which is designed and practiced largely for sport more than for self defense.

I am not trying to disparage BJJ, as I have not practiced it extensively. But it seems to me that proponents of the style are someone overconfident in it's superiority to other styles.

All that said, I see no reason to seperate Asian martial arts from Brazilian ones, French ones, or Israeli ones. If the question was instead: who would win in a fight between a wrestler and a striker, then you've got a different conversation. But the "asian martial artist" is a fairly arbitrary and misconstrued figure. But even saying that, I don't think most people have a really good idea of what this guy can do.
