MMA is a sport and lost all meaning of martial arts..there is rules unlike on the street where there is no rules..
Now the strongest discipline in the MMA is brazillian jiu jutsu..I don't think there is one fighter in the MMA who is not trained in that art..
Now by saying that how do you think you'd do on the street using brazillian jiu jitsu??
That **** won't help you much on a concrete ..good luck trying your triple arm bar on someone when his mate is about to kick your head in....or trying the triangle choke when you're punching on with 2 dudes on a night club dance floor...
Like I said MMA is good for MMA ..it is what it is..use it on the mat..
There is no such thing one is better than the other..they all work in different situations for different people....
The best book I've read about fighting is written by an English dude named dennis martin...he wrote the book working with warriors..which is a book about a few shotokan karate dudes who worked in liverpool as doorman ..one of them is terry o'neill who was considered one of the best street fighters in England.

As for its effectiveness in terms of fighting? Better than nothing, but due to the lack of testing against an unchoregraphed opponent- it fails miserably.
I guess the vid below is a complete farce
When you compare it to this, lmao
Hmm, you tell me which one appears to be choreographed, lmaoLast edited by King of Sting; 11-02-2011, 10:18 PM.

All the best MMA fighters are real martial artists. Not a collegiate wrestler or former pro boxer.
Anderson Silva: Taekwondo base, Muay thai, Boxing, Capoeria
Lyoto Machida: Shotokan Karate
GSP: Kyokushin Karate base
BJ Penn: Brazilian Jujutsu (not mma bjj)
Fedor(prime): Sambo
Bas Rutten: Taekwondo base, Muay thai
Ben Henderson: Taekwondo base, freestyle wrestler, bjj
Anthony Pettis: Taekwondo base
Need I go on?
