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.
 
Porier used a good system against max realizing he’s a pattern fighter
 
Uhh... So everyone with a base style. Like 90% of fighters. You learn all styles and do what specific moves works for your body. You don't say to the wrestling coach, "No I will only defend single legs using kung fu blocks and refuse to learn. I do kung fu only." You just fucking learn to wrestle despite already knowing Kung Fu or whatever.

This implies that, when fighters train BJJ or MT, they'll only do pure BJJ or MT techniques. This isn't how it works, nobody is going to say "I found two interesting moves from Sambo and Kung Fu, too bad I can't practice them until I have a specific training session for that." If they want to practice a stand-up technique from an "exotic" martial art, they'll just incorporate it to their generic stand-up training. Unless they need a very specific teacher to do so, they have no reason to fragment what they want to train by strict disciplines.

In MMA gyms and classes I go to, we have to do the combo that the kickboxing instructor likes. In the BJJ, we work on subs they tell us to work on. For that reason I do privates with a sambo instructor so that in the roll session I can have an extra move or two to do without being boxed in to the strict teaching of the instructor.

At the end of day, I can only do what I trained to do not whatever I come up with on the spot.
 
Black Beast. Expert it in swangin' and bangin' and just get the fuck up.
 
Yes, but you are not a pro-fighter and there are no UFC calibre fighters training with you in those classes, right?

Not in the grappling classes but striking yes. I don't know their names but they fight in Canada. Not quite UFC level but they are few fights away.
