I put a pretty heavy emphasis on using the Martial Arts that have proven effective in the UFC. In my opinion, all martial arts have a place in the world, but because I fight professionally, I feel I need to be versed in the hand-to-hand combat that has proven most effective amongst professionals.
These are most typically:
Brazilian jiu-jitsu: The art of submitting your opponent through chokes and joint locks
Muay Thai: "The art of eight points", de facto striking technique of the UFC, utilizes striking with fists, feet, knees and elbows, while also utilizing clinch work
Wrestling/Judo: The art of controlling your opponent through superior positioning
There is a reason these disciplines have proven most effective at the professional MMA level. Other martial arts are okay to try, but I would stick to the martial arts that the professionals use.
