With the popularity of Pride and mixed martial arts in general

Baki the grappler counts I think.

There was like, some MMA vibe in Baki for like the first 10 pages.

There's a decent number of successful MMA manga, formal, and informal.

Anime otaku don't watch MMA or combat sports in general. Also, martial arts is still relatively a niche interest.

Holyland is pretty good.

Yeah I know there are some manga and novels but its a genre that would be nice to see in motion, hope something comes out of RIZINs popularity

Because now that Teppu has ended, there's no incentive to make an anime anymore.

Even when K-1 was huge and Pride was a big deal there wasn't like, any big anime to push for that. It's more likely that a manga/anime will push interest for a sport rather than the opposite.

Shame

Pride is dead. K-1 is dead. Shooto is a shit. Rizin is a shit.
