It isn't considered the "best"
It's just the most widely used by MMA fighters due to its applicable nature in a controlled sport fighting environment.
There is no "best" martial art.

because it's well marketed by a global corporation
it's a fun sport, 90% of which is entirely useless in a real fight, and the 10% of useful stuff isn't in any way proprietary and is found everywhere

>90% entirely useless
knowing how to get away from a bigger guy wailing on top of you I'd consider more than 10% useful
>>1569095
and how exactly is that proprietary to bjj?
the methods in which you will learn that in bjj are largely useless to begin with
eddie bravos entire career at this point is basically based on the fact that traditional bjj techniques are inadequate against strikes when there isn't a gi to pull on
>>1569054
because it's shilled by the UFC
it isn't anything special
it's more about the practitioner than the martial art
a /fit/ karate guy who can take & dish hits really well will destroy a fat BJJ guy, and vice versa

Because people are stupid.
I wouldn't say it's considered the best, but definitely lots of people like it.
It's fun and the ground game is unparalleled.
Chicks dig it.

It's not.
