Dude, you really need to focus on non-clinch stand-up. Bottom line. You can clinch fine, take guys down, and pass guards pretty well. You're hands are HORRIBLE, YOU KNOW THAT. Work on that. More simply, work on keeping your hands up in a non-clinch situation. We all know you are not a striker, but at least look like an MMA fighter on your feet. I'm really not hating, but it really is sad...you look like you've never been in a street fight when a guy throws some hands on you.

you don't need to go to Thailand to learn Muay Thai. There are many great instructors right here in America. And not only Thai's but also Dutch guys, for example Rob Kaman.
