JKD as Bruce Lee did it was just wing chun, fencing and boxing. However do not look at it as a mishmash of the arts. Everything about JKD is scientific, Bruce Lee reverse engineered these arts down to their foundamentals, with that he created JKD.
MMA isnt JKD, mma is just preferance to certain arts there is no science involved.
As for the 26 arts that Razinghell talks about you have to remember Tao was not written by Bruce Lee, they are just collection of his notes gathered together . He may of looked at 26 arts but that was to study things he may encounter, he probably did this to find the 5 ways of attack -5 possible ways in which a human can attack, then build his art around using and defeating these (2 arms 2 legs...you remember the interview)
