I disagree with this. Every art has something to offer. Guys like GSP and Shogun train with Freddy Roach, not just to improve their punching, but also footwork and head movement. How about the Karate of Liddel and Machida? A lot of people say Taekwondo is useless, but Pettis uses it well against MT fighters. Judo and BJJ are great, but how about the wrestling of Velasquez, Barnett, GSP and Jones.
As far as grappling goes I can't say much since I have no experience outside of High School wrestling, but I've taken a number of striking arts and Kickboxed for years. In my experience some arts are better than others, but everything has something useful and they definitely matter when your fighting a style that you've never seen before.
Just my opinion.

The reason I mention the martial arts styles I did as it would make you a complete fighter. MT for striking, BJJ for the ground game, Judo for postion control.

The reason great fighters train other disciplines isn't to get good at those disciplines it is to understand them and neutralize them in a fight. Look at crazy dominate fighters and their disciplines. Anderson MT/BJJ
Shogun MT/BJJ
JDS Boxing/BJJ/Wrestling
Overeem KB/BJJ
GSP Wrestling/Karate

These fighters aren't great at everything but they are excellent at a few things and understand how to apply their techniques to neutralize other techniques.

It's the right mix of effective techniques that makes the most dangerous fighter.

Just like making cookies.

That I can agree with for the most part, but Shogun isn't training with Roach just for knowledge of how to understand and neutralize good boxers in a fight (although that's part of it). He's getting a lot more out of it. Same with Anderson working on Wing Chun. He doesn't need to understand it so he can neutralize it in a fight, he incorporates it into his hand style.
But I understand what you're saying and I do agree.

That was a good fight. I know when all the little bones tingle in your feet after you kick a knee or elbow haha. Congrats to him.

The one legend I can say I believe has the capability to kill some one was Bruce Lee. Even thou he didn't fight in mma or how we are talking but just the fact that his 1" punch can send you flying back and there is other video of him breaking heavy punching bags (100lbs+) down to just leather and a pill of stuffings.

Not sure what kind of legends were talkin about, but Ill throw Hwang Jang Lees name out there. Hes a 9th Dan TKD Grandmaster, starred in numerous kung fu flicks, taught TKD to the Korean army, and has killed a so called knife expert in self defense. Bottles knows who he is, he fought Jackie Chan is the finale of Snake In the Eagles Shadow!!
