Most popular MMA contributing arts?

[EOM]

Quick thread to ask what the most popular MMA contributing arts are. I imagine most practice one for standup and one for ground. It's been years since I've watched UFC, wonder how it's evolved.

I imagine Brazilian JuJitsu and Muay Thai to be the top two for each of their respective categories... .

BJJ + MT?
Wrestling + Kickboxing?
Judo + Taekwondo?

It's evolved to a point where each fighter strikes their best Stance of Dominance pose and the best one wins.

Haven't payed much attention lately, but JuJitsu plus boxing is a potent combination. Add in a couple more for those who want to be better all-rounders.

Every gym puts a bit more weight on different things, but the "average" training regime for MMA right now is wrestling for take downs, bjj for ground game, and then Muay Thai and boxing for stand up.

Eye poking did wonders for Jones, but they changed the rules so he had to resort to PEDs.
