In an MMA match, of course BJJ people need strikes and stand up wrestling. And if you have watched the evolution of MMA, you'l see that a lot of the "old curriculum" striking that BJJ had has been abandoned in favor of the same old punches, elbows, low kicks and wrestling EVERYONE USES
IE "style" is a completely artificial distinction, there are no styles, there is only what works and what is crap. If you want to fight effectively, you practice what works and you forget the crap
