TMA > MMA

Nah folks, I am just joking. But I am gloating because of Lyoto Machida. Yes, I have told you about him before. He is the the Shotokan Karateka who has just won the Light HeavyWeight title in the Ultiimate Fighting Championship. He has been an absolutely dominating combatant in the Mixed Martial Arts world. He is undefeated, and has NEVER LOST A SINGLE ROUND in his professional career.

Now a lot of people in the MMA world are going to scream that his success comes from crosstraining. I submit that BJJ, Judo, and wrestling have NOTHING to do with the fact that he has been knocking out his opponents as of late. For those who claim that his striking prowess comes from boxing and Muay Thai, all they have to do is ask him. He has said numerous times that Machida Family Karate is his the source of his striking skill set. Training with other stylists was only to learn their habits in order to defeat them more easily. Nuff said right? :)

Anyhow, Kara-tay is back in a big way folks! Bask in his amazing skills, ridiculous reflexes, and his practical sense of Bushido. Bask in it folks, I know I am :) Peace out, and be good to each other.
