That's kind of a foolish statement. Fact is ALL martial arts have some merit to them, even the lowly tai chi.
But until there are dojos springing up all over that teach "Ultimate Fighting Challenge" techniques, I'm still going to have to suggest the best all-round martial art that gives you the most bang for your buck.... Thai boxing.
Btw, I'm not talking about the N. American "McDonald's" version of kickboxing. I'm talking the original Thaiwanese style of fighting, including elbows, knees, the axe kick, etc. The rules are vastly different. As a style for self-defense purposes it is virtually unequaled, and meshes very well with ju-jitsu and other in-close styles.
