u do realise that theres different schools of Shotokan that do full contact and practice the fighting applications of it and not just train in katas and point sparring they actualy train properly as its supposed to be its just that Shotokan has been watered down

One of the reasons he is so good is that he has expanded beyond the confines of shotokan. There is a reason that few in MMA have a shotokan base. I went to brown belt as a shotokan student, and it is not relevant to actual fighting. Point fighting yes, but not full contact with takedowns. You must be mixed, and Machida is definitely a mixed martial artist. His unique traditional background is a help. It's almost as if he coaxes his opponents into a point fight. Incredible fighter.

great post brother
Lyoto is the revenge of Karate, after all these years that Muay Thai and Kickboxing ruled in MMA, Lyoto proved that Karate have a value, OSS!

He technically is Brazilian but his heritage and main style is Japanese! But Brazil has produced amazing MMA fighters! I am glad that Canada has someone to be proud of as well :P
