For the record, I wasn't suggesting to take any fights to the ground. That's obviously something you don't want to happen for obvious reasons, especially if you're at a physical disadvantage (which is usually the case unless you're the assailant)...I was just noting the propensity for street fights that aren't over instantaneously, to usually eventually end up on the ground; hence why any Brazilian jujitsu experience would come in handy at that point.
Also bear in mind that I say this as a female who's never trained, I've merely always found MMA interesting. However, if I ever found myself in self-defense situation, I'd probably be taken to ground level quite quickly, again for obvious reasons. I try to practice enough situational awareness so as not to find myself in that predicament to begin with though.
