I think with the MOoT book they should have added a subclass for monks, that focus on being an ancient wrestler, which would be close to a modern day MMA fighter.
I always forget about pankration when talking about the evolution of wrestling and MMA. That would probably be the better one to go with fora monk tradition. Now yes pankration would have looked a lot like MMA. Wrestling has always been a grappling sport, Danna White and Joe Rogan have said it millions of time, wrestling is the best background for MMA, anyway, pankration took several different ways of fighting and put them together, while it is not a 100% match, I would say that it's really close, and modern medical knowlage, and technology would be the biggest reason it looks different.

A pankratiast? Is pankration really that close to MMA?
Canto alla vita
alla sua bellezza
ad ogni sua ferita
ogni sua carezza!
I sing to life and to its tragic beauty
To pain and to strife, but all that dances through me
The rise and the fall, I've lived through it all!
