Yeah, what's the point of learning all that stuff if you're hardly ever going to use them though? It's kind of like exercise, but you can get that from free weights. Also, if you don't have experience in what you're trying to do those arts can turn into a liability. Like you said, being slow, using slow attacks (I can't imagine a situation where someone tries to roundhouse me and I don't tackle them in the back, or take a step forward...), you'll get beat up. Gaining experience in the arts doesn't seem to help either vs. those ufc fellows, I've watched quite a few of those pay per views and they just about always lose. So he can do what he wants, but I say it's more about the person then the style.
It sounds more like they use a few moves from a few different styles to me. If every martial art only has a few attacks that are effective, that doesn't do much for your argument.
