Hilarious stuff if true.
Actually most martial arts don't teach ground fighting techniques so once you get inside their kicking and punching zone and take them down to the ground they don't know what to do. For example if you watch the first few UFC ppv's (before they instituted weight classes, time limits, rounds, and before everybody knew 5 different fighting styles) the grappler in the fight almost always won. Guys like Royce Gracie would beat powerful strikers like Tank Abbott because they always took them down to the ground.
