Fighting styles from different countries/regions?
In boxing different regions and countries have "signature" styles, for example Mexican boxers are known for their swarming, their grit, body shots, and love for trading. Soviet boxers are known for their movement, rhythm, footwork, and distance management. What would be the equivalents in MMA? I think fighters from the Caucasus tend to have very grappling heavy styles with an emphasis on controlling their opponents, fighters from China and Korea tend to have lots of power in their hands and enjoy brawling, fighters from Japan tend to be very good grapplers (with the obvious exception of Asakura), the US tends to be a mixed bag...
