I still rose through the belt levels quickly without really learning anything except point fighting, which is completely useless in the real world.
Muay Thai and BJJ are the foundation that every MMA fighter starts with, and there is nothing any other martial arts is going to teach you that is so devastating that it can't be used in MMA. In fact I would argue that the headbutt is the one thing that can't be used in MMA that is any kind of an equalizer, but that is a whole other subject.
If you don't go with Muay Thai or BJJ then the only other decent option is Judo, which will teach you some ground fighting as well as how to drop someone on their head, but it's still not going to match what you could learn by combining Muay Thai and BJJ...
