When fists are flying, it's very easy to establish a clinch. It's logic that for any striker, he also needs to train how to deal with a clinch.

It’s a good skill set to have. Learning to establish a clinch helps to understand how to escape one.
Strikers already train how to deal with a clinch.
It's logic that any wrestler needs to train how to establish a clinch safely starting from outside striking range. In MMA, wrestlers train striking to integrate with their wrestling.

This is a good question.
It's possible that you may have 10,000 rounds of sport fighting and 0 street fighting.
If you have a training partner, you can have sport fighting 24/7. If you try to have a street fighting, you have to go to the street and pick up a fight against a stranger.
Since in sport fighting, we don't have to worry about legal issue, I like to talk about sport fight and not street fight.
I think Rousey was knocked out because of Edmond Tarverdyan, possibly the worst trainer in the history of combat sports. He tried to turn her into a boxer. And worse, he may be the worst boxing trainer in the country.
