Of course you can use the environment to your advantage. Ring fighting could be said to be a clean combative experiment in the sense that the rules wittle the situation down to skill only.
My point is if 'you' are so advanced in the arts of violence and martial culture, then any hand to hand scenario would be easy. Same as a chess master against amateur.
What makes a person scary?
You can break down for yourself where you think TMA/MMA would come into play in any of these videos. Note that they are fairly graphic.
What makes a person scary is mindset and experience. It's worth noting that sometimes that experience comes with a permanent price in terms of physical injury. The same things that make a person scary often would make them actually less effective in a sport format.
To tie it back to the original topic, if this guy truly was a bodyguard, then it was likely honorary or political. Same with whatever interaction he may or may not have had with any special forces group. Actually physically fighting hand to hand has almost nothing to do with modern military operations, and absolutely fuck-all to do with bodyguard work. The bodyguard's job is to see and avoid trouble before it happens, and if it does happen their job is then to move their client out of harm's way and, if necessary, use themselves as a shield. It has nothing to do with staying and fighting.
