No matter what you use, you still have to take them out one at a time. At least with BJJ you know they're not going to get off the ground and start fighting again because their arm will be snapped.

This is an argument with no solution.

Also I believe that most fights where at least one guy is unskilled will go to the ground through sheer clumsiness. A fight where one guy is a BJJ guy will usually go to the ground as well thru design. Either way, you're probably going to the ground, so you better be ready for it.
I totally agree, like I said before, BJJ is essential as a supplement to the standup fighting. What I meant by not going to the ground in the bar fight is that by keeping the fight standing up, in the event that there is multiple attackers, you have a chance to get your ass out of there, or at least improve your position a bit before you get beat on.
