These days stand up is very important. I believe you should learn stand up first then ground. Because every fight starts standing. So the way I look at it my opponent is mine for a couple of seconds.

Stand in my opinion is the most important part o fightin. Im not saying ground work isnt important, because i know it is. But a truly great standup fighter will not let a fight go to ground unless he wants it to.

Stand up is a key element for any fighter. You have to learn to be able to throw a punch, and put your body into it. Kicks can very easily keep your opponent at bay, setting up a nice combo can give you a window of oppurtunity to shoot. Grappling is important, but striking is as well. You need to able to punch, kick, grapple, and submit. If not, it'll either be a very long day, or a very short one.
