you are confusing "fighting" and "martial arts" with UFC. getting taken down inside a small octagon cage, pushed up against the fence and getting hit or choked is not quite the same as fighting on the street or against multiple attackers or people weilding weapons... and does not mean that every other style of fighting is worthless or somehow less effective.
BJJ proved to be very successful in that arena... nothing more.
i feel much safer in my skills for example against multiple attackers on the street (which has happened) than i would knowing BJJ and being forced to lay on the ground choking someone while his friend kicks me in the face.
