Being in Texas, I can't recommend any specifics for the Fayetteville area, but strongly suspect (especially with Ft. Bragg being so close) that there will be a variety of strong choices nearby.

You are RIGHT to seek out specific training in (various) combat arts -- you BJJ will be better if you learn it from specialists, as will your striking etc.

However, it takes a relatively long time to earn a black belt in BJJ so you will almost certainly find yourself competing in MMA (if you remain serious) long before you do that.

You might also be able to find an "MMA" guy that has SPECIALIST INSTRUCTORS in the various arts. Such gyms may or may not be truly competitive (in the individual arts) with another school devoted to a single art.

Example: Locally, we have a really good MMA school with all inclusive but separate lessons in: BJJ, Submission grappling (without gi), Muy Thai, Boxing, Wrestling, and MMA combined. Only $75 per month for everything, six days a week (different stuff on different days with 2-4 different offerings each day.)

Another local BJJ gum is probably better for BJJ (objectively it has a more advanced instructor, many more students, many more advanced belt students), but also has a smaller group of MMA classes. It starts at about $75 for 2 days/week and goes up to about $100 for six days.

Other gyms are strictly BJJ.

My real advice: Go visit each of the gyms in the area. Take any free lessons they offer. (You might get as much as a month some places, but most good schools will let you take ONE FREE LESSON or at the very least watch.)
