Yeah, anything made by Billabong, DC, Volcom, etc. are going to be just as good for grappling, and better quality overall. You'll find the good stuff usually retails for about $50 though, which is more than MMA shorts run a lot of times. Also, board shorts don't have flex panels, or grip crotches, or split seams or anything. I prefer boardshorts because they are usually slightly heavier in weight and better quality, with none of the elastic waistband crap. Can't stand elastic waitbands and huge velcro closure systems, which are totally unnecessary.
