BJJ is great stuff, and everyone in MMA needs to know it, but it's not "all there is" to being a good fighter.  |
Lenny,
You obvioulsy are not a fan of MMA. So I will explain.
MMA today is a mixture of BJJ, Wrestling, Muay Thai, and Boxing.
The original question was, one single martial art. If just one, BJJ would be it, but if you can find a MMA school, go there. I said that.
Royce got beat, because of one thing. He has not kept up with the times. The BEST MMA fighter won.
One thing you would know if your trained in BJJ is that Matt Hughes used BJJ positional strategy when he took Royce apart. You can see the same beat down in any of the older 1980's to 90's Vale Tudo Matches that were filmed in Brazil.
Matt went from passing the guard, to side control to full mount, to arm bar, to taking Royce's back doing the Ground and Pound.
As for Vitor Belfort... He was an amateur boxer who studied under Carson GRACIE. He is a BJJ fighter, and lists that as his base fighting style.
Thank you, come again.
