There were no karate MMA champions for years, and people dismissed taekwondo techniques. Lyoto Machida has had great success coming from a karate background, and so have taekwondo kicks. You can already see people working in wing-chun-style hand traps.
Joe Rogan has some nice commentary on this history.
