No way, a knife isn't allowed to be used in an MMA fight. There are no rules against those fast strikes.

I just meant take away eye gouges, neck and groin strikes and their goes a large portion of the art. I guess you meant would a fast striker do well in MMA.

Are neck strikes illegal in MMA?

A strike to the throat or neck with and without a glove is completely different, and I believe grabbing the throat with the intention or ripping it out is.

Yea unfortunately it's worthless when you're against more than one opponent. No one wants to be getting stomped in the face while finishing their triangle lol. That's why I like to train Muay Thai just as often as JJ. Plus striking is so satisfying for stress and anxiety relieve. Nothing like beating the shit out of a good heavy bag :)
