Practice makes perfect. You only get better at what you actually train. I'm not sure why he even accepted that challenge; clearly they have trained some very, very different things, and the rules of engagement were clearly much closer to the "rules of training" of the MMA guy.
It's like a break dancer challenging all classical ballet people to do some sort of a street-style "dance off" thing, and a ballet dancer accepting it, probably thinking something along the lines of: "it's all in the 'dancing' category, isn't it? I've been classically trained and practiced very hard for many years, so I should be able to handle it; how hard can it be..."
Not even sure I would say "kudos for accepting it". It's like apples and oranges IMHO.
