BJJ has been ?cool? for a while now, but with more fighters turning to its techniques I wouldn?t be surprised that in 10 years it will be just as popular as BJJ.
Name one one BJJ fighter that is capable to beat ferod right now? NONE..
PS: how can you have 2 champions in middle weight at the same time.. And how did St. Pierre manage to lose his title if his BJJ style was so superior to everyone else?s

Grapling is grapling, no matter what you call it.
Submission wrestling, BJJ, Sambo and others kind of grapling arts all have something called an Armbar... guess what, it's sill a fucking arm bar no matter what you practice !
In St-Pierre's last fight he used a judo trip... Guess what ? He learned it from the canadian national wrestling team, not a judoka.
Arts are crossing over, and 'the best thing' dosen't existed. What is more suited for your style does.
If you look at credentials has an edge over Sambo, by a long stretch. Other then Fedor, Aleks and 2 other russian dudes, no one were succesfull in MMA from a sambo background.
MMA as a whole evolves so rapidly, that it's separated itself from specific matial arts and become the ultimate form of martial arts in itself.
