Ok I understand the title seems odd but let me explain, some fighters train in the conventional style of MMA like jujitsu in the morning and Muay Thai in the afternoon. But are there any fighter that train in a style of martial arts that is not a Thai Kickboxing or Brazilian Jujitsu grappling?
For example they would come in with a small group and have a specific stand up technique training like using specific moves karate, Kung Fu, Muay Thai, Tkd and then practice specific grappling submission and ways to defend or initiate takedowns.
This way its they are practicing their own specific moves without being tied down to the curriculum of the conventional styles.
Anderson silva i think did that. For example he trained traditional muay thai moves that werent used in the sport like elbow uppercut. His trainers and coach told him it wont work
