Possibly a sign that all the karate guys who say they don't like UFC weren't just bitter because none of their own got a shot - they genuinely don't like UFC.
You may be right...but I don't get it though. You see someone using the techniques and movements in which you train to such good effect that he is able to beat elite opponents with ease, without taking a stratch and while staying totally relaxed and in control. How can you not be a fan of that?
The vast majority of karatekas who don't enjoy the UFC (MMA) probably haven't seen a lot of UFC or MMA and thus haven't seen Machida.
This was another interesting fight - Leon Walters in K1 [ame="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qImXBLkK4_A"]YouTube - Leon Walters Pain and Glory Debut[/ame] Another guy who seems able to use karate rather than MT as a base.
ooohhh, that's one nasty yoko he's got there. another video, apparently against a tkd'er: [ame="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SL2DoQjA4t4"]YouTube - Leon Walters Vs Kevin Hunt at Pain and Glory 08[/ame] btw, anyone know which style leon walters practices? what i've been able to dig up suggests wado, but i'm not sure
