Does the "peek a boo" guard have any place in MMA?

Brian Dennehy was in Galdiator?

The first gladiator...the one with Cuba Gooding jr...about underground boxing.

Best of the Best was the best martial art movie of all time

'to lose in the face of victory is to show true honor, your brother showed this honor I am sorry for your loss, I offer myself as your brother'

(I'm okay, there's just something in my eyes).

"Crazy Monkey" or peek-a-boo worked in Ortiz vs. Belfort. I think that it's a panic defense that is at least better than shelling up against a hard striker. (*) Unfortunately, Chuck doesn't punch like a boxer at all, he throws counter-punches and tends to aim his shots for the knockout as opposed to Belfort's style of multiple flurry punches.

In other words, the style of punching determines the effectiveness of the block used against it.

Rampage used it effectively against Chuck, and Wanderlei in their second fight until he got caught in Rd. 2. I can´t really think of many other examples though of it working well, Rampage is the only guy I´ve seen use this defence very effectively in MMA.
