    Its a cliche but you need a bit of everything. The key is to be good at wrestling but that's virtually useless unless you can defend against submissions because you'll just keep getting tapped, and without good striking (especially ground striking) you're not going to be able to finish opponents. Plus if you don't have any standup skills then your takedowns become easier to stop because you're not leaving your opponent guessing and you need to force the shot.

    I would like to have good ju-jitsu, judo, a solid grasp of how to advance via the guard and some flying subs with the ability to improvise them as I go. Yes, that would be it.

    BJJ is the most important aspect for anyone coming into the sport. How much you focus there depends on your background.

    If you have an extensive wrestling background, you'll be a competent fighter with basic submission and striking defenses.

    If you haven't wrestled, then BJJ should be your prime focus at first. Odds are you'll struggle to put anyone on their backs, and will spend a lot of time on your own. If you haven't wrestled, even if you are naturally gifted here, it will take years before you are out wrestling the wrestlers.

    Boxing and wrestling.

    I would want to be able to cut angles like a boxer, if that don't work have the takedown to ground and pound.

    Boxing and Jiu-Jitsu, like Penn and Nogueira. Maybe with a twist of Machida Karate thrown in to make it interesting.
