It really dosent have that big of an advantage in MMA as it would in Boxing because there are so many ways to get close to your opponent perhaps go for the take down and not let your opponent utilize the reach as for in boxing your best hope is to get inside and land some uppercuts remanising of a late 80's Tyson.
