Is it possible to use MATE Desktop on top of standard LTS Ubuntu?
I would like to try MATE. But I would like to stick with Ubuntu 18.04 LTS.

It is possible. But for first experience I can recommend to install it on virtual machine or test with LiveCD/LiveUSB.
On already installed Ubuntu LTS you should install Ubuntu MATE meta-package with:
sudo apt-get install ubuntu-mate-desktop
and then select MATE session on the login screen.
Removing GNOME session is also possible with:
sudo apt-get purge gnome-shell ubuntu-gnome-desktop
ubuntu-desktop ubuntu-unity-desktop unity-session
sudo apt-get autoremove
And main GNOME software may be removed with (do not run it if unsure):
sudo apt-get purge activity-log-manager aisleriot alacarte baobab eog
evince evince-common evolution-data-server-common file-roller gedit
gedit-common gir1.2-gnomebluetooth-1.0 gir1.2-gnomedesktop-3.0

sudo apt-get autoremove
After executing of these two commands you will get the system very similar to standard Ubuntu MATE 18.04 LTS installation.
