in all seriousness tho:

fit the training emphasis around the fighter, play to strengths and shore up weaknesses. an ability to throw/takedown is a vital component for any gameplan. if you plan to win standing with strike you will need to be able to keep it there, ergo takedowns skills are a must to use them in reverse. for ground and pound or submission an ability to takedown and end up on top will also be essential.
