I think that no style is more dominant than any other, it all comes down to what strategy a fighter chooses to use given his opponents strengths. Personally if I was fighting against a standup guy, I'd take him to the ground so that he would be out of his element and not fighting the fight that he prepared for. In my opinion that is how most of the good all around fighters fight with a few exceptions.

bro, Sean Sherk is a very well trained fighter who you can be sure knows plenty about BJJ. There's a huge difference between an MMA guy with hundreds of hours of mat time spent learning how to stay on his feet and some little monk who thinks punching trees with his bare hands somehow prepares him for a real fight.
You have to know bjj to fight bjj, and if you haven't spent a lot of time learning how to keep standing up, you're gonna go down. BJJ is most definitely the most important fighting art even to MMA guys, and they all learn it so that they can effectively work against it and impose thier own style, but first they have to deal with the BJJ issue.
