These guys are all crosstraining in separate arts. It's never a good night for judo,bjj,boxing, sambo, catch wrestling, ect ect. It's only a good night for the guy who used every tool in his shed to beat his opponent.

I'm aware that what Judo can provide. I've trained in it for quite some time. I didnt say anything about it not being adequate.
Mousasi has trained with Fedor, but that isnt the only team he trains with.
I'm saying its obvious because the way Mousasi fights is not like the way Fedor, Gokor, or any of the other straight Judo/Sambo fighters fight. He plays guard textbook BJJ.

I did a little google-fu and I guess I stand corrected
seems Gegard spent quite some time with Jurojin Sportschool with Remco Pardoel , and they
Grappling & BJJ Sportschool Jurojin
seem to be affiliated with Bracie Barra but I don't read dutch
IIRC Remco did get a BJJ BB later on

I think you can still see alotta judo in Gegard thou, the way he takes people down, often just by kuzashi and legtrips and the weak doublelegs
BJJ seems to hog all the judokas thou.
Several of the greats started out with judo and transitioned into BJJ
Jacare, Maia, Nog brothers, Marcelo

Don't forget Aoki, he is more BJJ now than Judo IMO.

He definitely uses plenty of Judo. He's a mixed Martial artist, he uses everything.

pretty hard to argue that judo hasn't been effective in MMA for quite some time now.

His takedowns are still very much judo, but his ground (positioning, guard work, etc) is very much bjj oriented. And it's ridiculous that I'm even bothering to break this down since the two arts differ only by what's allowed in competition, save for a few newer bjj-specific things. He also trains with some shootfighter types, and this is reflected by his use of leglocks (as well as all the guys in his gym).
I actually really dig their approach to grappling there: very dynamic and aggressive bjj game, do not neglect takedowns but still have strong guard, and they don't neglect leglocks. Yuki Nakai has his boys trained well.

Aoki is a very well rounded grappler I agree. Solid guard, takedowns, leg locks. He is really fun to watch as well, he has an aggressive game.

And Nakai had such great newaza that he got his BJJ BB straight from the IBJJF or something
*just exaggerating to make a point
Its funny, all I saw either doing was MMA. Where in the video do they stop to do a judo match and a BJJ match?
Pure styles went out in the 90's. Everyone cross trains in MMA. Neither pure judo nor pure BJJ will get you far in MMA, and everyone trains in everything, so why do these kinds of threads keep coming up?

It's interesting to note that I have recently seen a bunch of top-level Aussie judoka training in MMA. A few have had amateur fights recently. Whereas say 10 years ago I knew of NO judoka in Aus interested in MMA... or rather, very few.
Compare this to BJJ where MMA has ALWAYS been on the radar - through it's early Gracie influence.
So I would not be surprised to see more and more judoka creeping into the MMA scene because - like wrestling - judo training is tough and judo competition is good mental preparation for the intensity of MMA matches.
Whether judo will ever "dominate" I don't believe so - however I do see it having a greater impact as more MMA exposure interests more judoka.
