Footwork in mma.

This. Fans get way too caught up in "footwork" because it looks fancy. In reality, it's Guys like Holloway, Mouse, Aldo who have the best actual mma footwork. TJ is up there too, his movement is much different than Cruz.

Same thing goes for head movement in MMA the best head movement is subtle, not like a bobble head Rashad style.
 
Footwork vs elite grappling is like trying to dance your way out of a car wreck
footwork vs elite grappling is essentially Whittaker vs Jacare. Jacare had nothing for Whittaker in the entire fight.
 
Jose Aldo has great foot work (in and out, lateral, angles).
 
Footwork can help you get off the center line, pivot and sprawl.

All of these are useful for TDD. However, without understanding of wrestling, and clinching you are perhaps delaying the inevitable?
