Can an MMA guy destroy an aikido guy? Yeah, probably. But aikido can be very effective against untrained people, and has the added benefit of not hurting them that much when you neutralize them. It's taught to cops in a lot of places for that reason.
People also need to understand that different people train MA for different reasons.
Is your friend living in a fantasy world where aikido is the key to HtH combat? Maybe. But there's something a little silly and a little pathological about MMA people who get so angry about what other people believe. Suggestion: get angry at Creationists or those Global Warming denial folk. They are causing much more trouble than Mr. Dim Mak.
