If you want to fight for sport, cool.. please do. But recognize and understand - ITS A SPORT - for a reason.
It does not mean it's the best, and being a black belt does not make you a bad ass, it does not mean BJJ is the best.. It means "ITS LIMITED" by RULES.. and based on the current rules, BJJ is the best - but still limited.
Remember that....

Doc, you know I have mad respect for you, we are talking self defense options here, but in reality you are a true warrior and put your life on the line on the battlefield for our country.
The rules of BJJ follow BJJ's philosophy, positional dominance. That's what makes BJJ so effective, we train the same way we fight, and compete.
To explain further, here are the points system used that illustrate why BJJ translate well from sports to self defense/fighting.
Backmount = 4 points
Mount = 4 Points
Knee on Belly = 3 Points
Side Control = 2 points
Sweeps from bottom = 2 points
Take down = 2 points
Submission = Win
An old Gracie Jiu Jitsu video of BJJ vs Hapkido shows you that positional dominance of Mount controls the fighter, and then setups up the submission. Rorion gives a great breakdown on the efficacy of Gracie Jiu Jitsu.
