I also don't really see what this has to do with MMA, which is AFAIK a mix of Muay Thai and Brazilian Jijitsu. On the other, you have plenty of traditional MA which either use weapons as part of training (eg, some kung fu schools) or are completely weapon-based (eg, kendo).
MMA isn't a style per se - the intention is to allow martial artists from any style to compete within rules designed to allow reasonable safety.
Currently the Muay Thai / BJJ combo is the most common and generally successful, but some winning MMA fighters have incorporated elements of styles as diverse as Tae Kwon Do, Western boxing, and even Capoeira.
