Excellent video, I share the exact same view, sports are not martial arts. The best that martial arts have to offer is illegal in any actually legal ring fight, to dfetermine the strongest martial art you need literal life or death gladiator matches, originally martial arts were designed to kill and incapacitate with no mercy in real life circumstances and real life is not so kind to let every fight be 1v1. You throw a traditional ju-jitsu user in a mma or judo competition and careers will be ended, possibly lives lost, and that is a TAME martial art, what brazilian jiu jitsu is based on. Ju Jitsu is far from being the most brutal martial art, but in a ring it would play out like a horror movie, and there would be no showmanship or sportsmanship, just dislocated joints and broken bones within a matter of seconds, worst case lost lives.
Fighting with rules, fighting without rules and fighting to the death are 3 different situations and the top martial art for each one of these categories will not be the same, you can not test killing arts in a ring, and you can not test street fighting capabilities in a ring either. Kung Fu is an excellent collection of martial arts and there are styles of kung fu to match every scenario, but you can only master 1 or 2.
