Never have seen him do anything with it. At this point, he's too old to show us his jui jitsu skills in the ring, so I guess it's hard to say how good he really is/was/would be. If Chuck Norris would have been one of the all-time MMA legends, we'll never truly know.

If i can knock a person out before taking them down, i'm doing that.

That's why I love what Chuck Liddell and others like him did for MMA. They re-established the importance of stand-up fighting by finding ways to keep the best grapplers from taking them down.

And. Brazillian Jiu Jitsu is not a dominant style in MMA. MMA is the dominant style of MMA. If any single style could be said as MMA's most dominant, it would probably be wrestling or Muay Thai.

I think Brazillian Jui Jitzu is doing very well for itself -- but just like every other style, it is not the full package by itself. It has some holes that can be exploited, just like every other style.
Wrestling as the most dominant within MMA? Which kind? Greco-Roman, Freestyle, Sambo, Jui Jitzu, Judo or one of the other types of wrestling? Wrestling really better describes the category of physical combat where striking is either limited or prohibited and there are lots of types of it. So yeah, you're right, but I don't see your point.
My point on jui jitsu is simple: It is the grappling style containing the set of tools that continues to be absolutely crucial to the success or failure of any MMA fighter.
I would agree that Muay Thai has done extremely well for itself.
