Since MMA has sort of become a style unto itself it has lost the best thing about the practice of Mixing Martial Arts and that's getting experience fighting, sparring or competing with people who do things differently, who've been taught differently, who are better at very different elements of the fight, whose styles have very different characteristics.

The difference between a good fighter and a bad fighter isn't the techniques they know, it's their ability to use the techniques they know.

Back in the early days MMA was using your techniques against all different kinds of fighters.

Well I have seen Karateka, Judoka, Boxers, Kickboxers, and TKD people made names for themselves in professional MMA but have never seen someone trained just in MMA win a professional Judo contest, a Karate tournament (which by the way I dislike) or a TKD contest. When someone is able to leave their game to another and win then the argument that MMA is the best will have a leg to stand on but until that day comes it is an opinion of the uneducated masses.
