I'm a new mmeber of this forum, and I have insufficient rights to start a new thread.. And this seems to be best spot I see to put my question.
I'm an MMA fan, but I only have trained grappling for a number of years. My knowledge of standup techniques is very limited (although I have a "black belt" in taekwondo...). I was wondering if someone could help me clarify the advantages of being "in the center of the octagon". SOmetimes I hear commentators speaking about how quickly someone takes it or whatever. I have some theories of why this may be a good thing but I'd like to see if there is someone that may shed some light on this.
thanks!

Sport Fighting: owning the center of the octagon shows the judges that you are being more aggressive. But pro level strikers should be dangerous moving backward anyway, so it's not much of an advantage as you think.
Street fighting: it is inadvisable to be moving back too much. You might trip over something/someone. Or you might not even have space to move back anyway (subway, bar, etc). So it is good to be able to fight moving forward. In a street fight, you're probably gonna get hit or grabbed anyway. You might as well make him pay for it.

Thanks man! (My theory was that you'd avoid takedowns somewhat easier since you are further from the fence).

The fence can be used to avoid takedowns too. Unless Demian Maia gets his hands on you.
