if he went into a deeper stance like the jka wud teach it he wudnt have the reach to effectively hit that face.......i dono its mma...things are abit more fluid and tweaked to suit the situation....
the only thing is that the first left straight punch (gyaku-zuki) is actually bad form by JKA karate standards. it's probably the reason why it didn't knock Bonnar out.
Despite people thumbing this down, I have to agree. Machida doesn't use proper technique in the ring. If he did, Bonnar could easily have been on the floor.
@Philmoscowitz shut the fuck up for christ sake noone cares its machida who competed at karate his entire life at the highest level stop being such a goddman critict
LOL at the end, the guy just bleeds too much, its fucking ridiculous, ahahahaha

It's funny to see the difference in how Machida fights in a small ring compared to the ufc's much larger cage.
