Quite a few of the people I mentioned started in stand up styles. Wonderboy, Hall & Waterson trained in karate. Holm, Jędrzejczyk & Poirier are great boxers.
I put Zabit in bold because he's an excellent fighter all round and great to watch.
Dominick Cruz has probably the most odd stand up style I've seen.

Cheers, lots to get through there.
Not a big fan of fancy stuff, used to train/watch MT/K1 Max so i guess that's what i like but fancied trying something different. AFAIK you can train a good wrestler/ground fighter to strike well enough in a very short amount of time to do MMA. You can't do the opposite which is probably why a lot of the stand up looks shit to me.
I'd been looking for a place to train in London before lockdown but the whole marketing/CM vibe puts me off.
