The new bone will be stronger, but the stretched unnatural force to the tissue will make it hard, About your case, i like MMA and i had fights before. I will tell you one thing its hard for us to leave things we love, but lets talk rationally, we cant compete after this crap surgery, not professionally at least, so think about practice it as fun if you did the surgery. I stopped myself and it was very hard for me to decide, Good luck.

There may be a way to minimise soft tissue lengthening by keeping lengthening under or at 20% of limb length and lengthening .5 to .6mm max a day and by stretching your soft tissue out for a few years. Still there will be a degree of soft tissue damage that may or may not be preventable. You might be able to take someone in the street but for MMA? I doubt so.

One major issue  that will severely impact martial arts ability after LL

Lack of balance. I  thought it was unique to me because of my achilles lengthening but it seems that  almost everyone says the same thing.  You lose a lot of your balance. I accidentally tripped yesterday and before LL I would have easily recovered, but not now. I   stumbled and almost fell down. Gotta be more careful after LL
