Watched this a few days ago. Interesting story.
Don't know how much "real karate" there is but it seems to work :)

Yeah, it turned up in my feed a couple days back also. I'm thinking YouTube's algorithm must be able to see a kinship among spiked nationals after a while and starts proposing the same stuff to us. I really liked this video though. I knew of Machida in passing but never saw his career reel before. I found some additional fluidity, elegance to his moves vs his opponents. Loved the escape from Ortiz here.. the karate shining through in places for sure.

Don't watch a lot of UFC but they all seem to have the same basic fighting style regardless of their background.
It's really the technique and execution that sets them apart. Machida has the kicks and take downs dialed in, it really show what he got from Karate.
