On the whole the real reason why Kung Fu doesn't appear in MMA is because the competitors who represented it in early MMA or no holds barred as it was called found that it didn't work.

Roy Nelson trains in kung-fu, absolutely, but describing him as an example of kung-fu in the Octagon when he primarily headhunts trying to force opponents to circle into an overhand right isn't exactly fair.

Point is, if Kung Fu was effective fighters would be enrolling in those schools to specifically study what works in those arts, but it doesn't seem to happen. They also banned the practice of Shaolin Kung Fu. From 58 to 76 A.D., Indian and Chinese relations began to grow.

MMA is now big money, at least for the promoters, but for some fighters as well. Though Ba Tuo turned down the emperor's offer to teach Buddhism at the court, he was still given land on which to build a temple. I did find a snippet of an interview where he claimed that the UFC rules "favored the grapplers," which is pretty ridiculous when you see him tapping out after less than half a minute.

It's not like he's the Machida of kung-fu in MMA or anything.

Despite how kung fu is defined in China, the term is widely used across the world to describe a significant portion of the Chinese martial arts.

The basic goals of Shaolin Kung Fu are to protect against opponents and disable them quickly with strikes. There was a thread on this a few months back, can't remember which user gave the answer but someone gave a very robust response to this question, from memory; 1-Kung Fu is in a bit of a mess worldwide, especially competatively, there isn't really a 'sparring' version of Kung Fu that simulates real combat, plus there's no governing body or super-structure that can stop it diluting globally.

He did do the Gracie challenge against Royce Gracie and then supposedly studied Renzo's BJJ tapes for a rematch, but they asked him to be in UFC instead, where he again lost to Royce.

Unfortunately for them, only an outcast can save them. Many believe that the original kung fu devised by the monks was much more powerful, though perhaps less aesthetically pleasing, than most Shaolin Kung Fu practiced today.
