The problem most martial arts, especially strikers like Karate style martial artists have in a real fight, is that while they trained in their school they lived in a fantasyland where clinching and grappling is not permitted. The reason why Muay Thai and Jiu-Jitsu fared much better is that they recognize that the clinch is just going to happen and they either embrace it as a way to go to the ground for a submission (jiu-jitsu, and judo to a lesser extent), or they recognize its probably gonna happen and teach you how to continue to fight in a clinch while avoiding a takedown (muay thai). You aren't going to see me praise boxers very often, but at least they also teach boxers how to fight in a clinch.
It takes both fighters to agree that a clinch and a possible takedown is not going to happen, one guy can't reliably avoid it. The other martial arts either pay lip service to ground fighting, or they just tell their students "just don't let them take you down" without further training, as if it was something anyone could easily do.

This. Big guy and little guy lock up even for a second. Big guy throws little guy on ground really ****ing hard. Big guy wins fight. Or grabs and hits little guy really ****ing hard. Big guy wins fight. The fact there are people giving a professional fighter who outweighs this guy buy 80 lbs has no chance is amusing~
