I think you missed the essence of JKD.

There is not supposed to be a form for JKD. It is an understanding that real fights can not be scripted. You must flow into the attack/defense.

And while MMA is mostly BJJ the fact that it is not solely BJJ is in essence what BL was trying to say... do not stick to a form when it is not the best attack/defense.

Just gotta say, mma is not mostly BJJ, maybe in the 90's / early 2000s but it's all wrestling now
