BJJ still.
Great wrestler with no BJJ gets subbed. (See Lesnar-Mir 1,Sonnen-Maia)
Striker with no BJJ gets subbed.
This.... sorta.
Let's say grappling in general.

When and if a high level Krav Maga practitioner decides to compete in the UFC, he will become champion of his weight class.
Krav Maga is a no holds barred form of martial arts, but if it can be tweaked to conform with the rules of the UFC, there's no doubt in my mind it is the ultimate skill-set to defend against all others.
I've seen high level Krav Maga experts in action, and there's no stopping them (literally).
Do you realize that if you took out all the striking and holds in Krav Maga that would be considered illegal according to the current rules in MMA, you'd end up with....exactly the same thing everyone's already training?!?
To answer OP: Wrestling. Good TD's & TDD allow the fighter to determine where the fight takes place.

They aren't dominating because competition isn't part of Krav Maga, like how it is with all other forms of martial arts.
It's the purest and most lethal form of martial arts training there is.
You put a MMA fighter up against a Krav Maga specialist on the street and I guarantee you, the MMA fighter will walk away with broken bones or seriously injuries if they're lucky, and if not, they'll end up dead.
The two most important arts are BJJ and Muay Thai IMO. Wrestling is so overrated.
Look at Anthony Pettis, he throws his strikes liberally because he doesn't care if he gets taken down.
I don't care how "skilled" someone is if there's a huge athletic and power/speed advantage. A top MMA fighter (who will be very "skilled") will blow a Krav Maga specialist out of the water. And literally bash their brains in.
