It was its advantages.

* long-distance focus.

* Emphasis on timing and distance.

* Unfamiliar to more traditionally trained strikers.

it's like with almost all the other traditional martial arts in mma - they don't tend to work well in the absence of other skills. its much easier for a traditional martial artist to implement their gameplan and style when they cross train. Rogan has been talking about this fact for years.

If the fighters don't screw up, karate is a boring style. However once they rush them it's really exciting.
