Karate in MMA

Stephen Wonderboy Thompson came up doing Karate and American Kickboxing. Here has been working his way up the ranks in MMA. He brings a skillset that that is different than what most MMA fighters train with and for. Most train Muay Thai. When Lyoto Machida came on the scene, he brought a different rhythm to the fight that was difficult for guys to catch. Watching Edson Barbosa, you see a different style of kicking to. He has floored guys with spinning kicks. These guys have done it on more than one occassion and they are proving that they are effective.
