i dont think you will see these side kicks and axe kicks making their way into MMA.
MMA standup is for the most part fairly weak in comparison to stand up systems that do little else such as boxing MT.
Although i dont have extensive MMA training i did spend a while at a couple of MMA gyms and i completely owned them in standup. this was at purebred if you dont know it you can look it up online i think.

Its more of a case of not knowing yet how to deal with certain things. Side kicks are not a great technique and i wouldnt start using them in the way cung le does. i think mma is in its early stages still but i think its ground game, from what i can tell is really advanced. standup it isnt doing much yet.

I mean look at the average mma fight in the stand up part of the fight, not exactly amazing skill is it.

as for trapping the answer is no. trapping doesnt make a great deal of sense and i dont think it ever will do.
