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.
