I have heared a good argument about boxing. That in a real life situation going in hard, eating a punch and then rocking the person is as good a plan as you can have in non-controlled setting. Bonus it is cheaper than mma usually, and you will get good at running so it checks the previous boxes.
I think the received wisdom is that with about a year's BJJ training an untrained fighter probably doesn't have a chance. Now, a person that really wants to try fighting you is not necessary Bob from accounting so it is unclear how much that actually helps in any situation. However some kind of wrestling practice is useful your entire life. I mostly use my wrestling skills to pick up and move little old ladies safely for example.
