I think trapping skills are useful but I don't think its easy to keep a fight there unles the opponent also wants to trap, in MMA competition trapping does not occur very often, I've never seen it in MMA anyways.

I think that there are plenty of TMA techniques that are great that you wont see in modern sportive martial arts, such as all those brutal non-sportive moves! Eye attack, throat attack, tendon removals, all that brutal grabbing and ripping and gouging stuff. Most of it can be aplied practically in a self-defence situation.
