Grappler for the simple reason it will help to make my striking great too..
As a Martial artist myself , who has a base in Jiu-jitsu and now has also trained Muay thai ..i feel like because i have a good base in grappling in a mixed combat situation i can throw much more strikes with variety because i feel like if someone does choose to engage with me in grappling to get away from my strikes they would just be going into my actual base or strength as a Martial artist...so its kinda like a trap or two prong attack ..atleast this is my feeling till i actually compete in MMA
That said you could potentially do the same with being a striker first...I mean look at Izzy and Chuck Liddell...they both became quite effective anti grapplers while keeping there striking...
Well said man.
