Most bjj/wrestling in mma is normally accompanied by blows to the head. Bjj is a threat but most guys use ground and pound to get to a submission or visa versa. It's a violent sport, no doubt about it

I’m somewhat surprised by this. I would have thought due to the possibility of jiu jitsu and wrestling outcomes, not purely striking, the percentage would be lower. Could this have something to do with reporting in boxing/bare knuckle?
