"submissions" won't exist in that dark alley at 3am... It's run away, die, kill, etc. I don't think you got the correct message from the article (as outlined above: it was about exposing fraudulent "masters" and the incentivization of such fraudulent masters via the CCP.) A 200 pound person trained in TMA who also may have experience in XYZ context (read: actual something or other, MMA, or otherwise.) will probably do as well as the same weight and experience person with an MMA background. Complacency can also easily occur via an MMA background in confusing a streetfight for a match or sparring, as above. Aka: there are varying dynamic levels, from mere formal demonstrations of "moves", to people trying them out on each other in real-time but with less than harmful intentions, to competitive yet still structure brawling (you don't break the guys neck to end an MMA match) to shouting drunk with occasional jabs or scuffles on a street corner in some prolonged stupid social interaction, to something escalating ultra-rapidly in an unarmed state, to armed combat resulting in an unexpected close-range hand-to-hand encounter (both of the latter perhaps ending in the death of one or another combatent) try not to simplistically and chauvinistically reduce it to "TMA sux, MMA rox" which is silly to say.
