You should *never* voluntarily take a fight to the ground. That may work great in an MMA match, but in the real world, you want to remain on your feet. If you go to ground, your attacker's buddies may show up and kick the snot out of you while he has you tied up on the ground. And if a weapon comes out, it is a **** of a lot harder to run away when you are in a grappling match down on the pavement. And in real life, when you go to ground you tend to roll around in stuff like broken glass, and get mud puddle sludge or other disgusting and unsanitary stuff rubbed into all the abrasions you are going to get from the asphalt, concrete, gravel or whatever. You might win the fight, then die from a MRSA infection.
Ground fighting is a great skill to have, but only as a last-ditch defense if you do get taken down.
