Just some thoughts that came to mind while reading this thread: For me the only thing I can predict in a fight is that I can't predict. Each encounter is different. There is no and never will be the ultimate style (especially not with the attitudes of so many practitioners). Grappling is effective but not the only way to win a fight. Going to the ground is possible but less than 99% chance. Not going to the ground is not a sign of being untrained. Certain BJJ practitioners are well known but not necessarily any superior or inferior to anyone else. Being undefeated merely means you have not fought everyone. UFC hypes to gain an audience and should not be taken too seriously. Crosstraining is often not necessary as many styles cover the bases it is up to the practitioner to develop and round out their knowledge. Forms are important in training and have much value to offer a true fighter. To dismiss anothers view weakens your own.
