Who it trained better for a real self-defense attack?

Those trained in combat sports such as: Boxing, Kickboxing, Muay Thai, Wrestling, MMA (cagefighting), etc. Where it is purely a sport but, produces tough athletes who can fight.

Or…

Traditional Martial Arts: Aikido, Japanese Jujutsu, Kung-Fu, Karate, etc. Those that train primarilty for street self-defense only and not sport.

Or a 3rd choice: Those who do it 50/50 like: Judo, Brazillian Jiujitsu, Tae Kwon Do, etc. Those that have a martial art side but, also have a pure sport side too.

I want to get into MMA but Im not sure about what style I want to fight with. I like Anderson Silva Muay Thai and BJJ combination. The best gym near me is AZCombat sports. http://www.azcombatsports.com/classes/ They offer Muay thai and bjj classes seperate or you can take MMA as a class as one. What do you guys think? Link has discription of classes

How would you describe your combat style?
