Still believe Dim Mak is real.

Think Kung Fu and Wushu are a legitimate fighting style.

Ninjitsu would still be a thing.

Big, roided up guys triumphs over everything.

Damn, it would have been alot more fun tbh.

Even if MMA never existed, actual combat styles like boxing, Muay thai, and krav maga would still be there to demonstrate how Kung Fu and wushu are very pretty as an art but pretty terrible for fighting.

Striking would be supreme. Or maybe even just western wrestling.

It still pretty much is. BJJ has a number of flaws that are hidden by the rules of MMA. Basically, MMA favors BJJ. In the end, you still never want to find yourself on the ground because it's a huge disadvantage.

*Sakuraba has entered the chat*

In all seriousness, though, Saku was the one to show how well rounded skills could beat only BJJ. While I admit the Gracies were instrumental in a lot of things, they were fuck bags in wanting rules that only benefited them.

Saku is the maaaaaaan!

Muay Thai was derived from Kung Fu.

Wushu is a general term that means "martial arts," it is not a particular style outside of denoting Chinese martial arts (because it's Chinese.)
