I thought Krav Maga was specifically meant for dealing with dirty fighting, e.g. being attacked from behind, with weapons, etc as opposed to MMA/Muay Thai where you are being trained to fight against somebody approaching from the front in a ring, without weapons.

Most MMA ground work, from a technical point of view, can be totally useless in a real fight, for instance.
I've been doing Krav Maga for two and a bit years now and I love it. I don't think if you're looking for outright fitness it's the best thing out there but you will certainly learn to defend yourself, counter attack, etc.
