I think a lot of people over play Machida's karate influence on his MMA fighting. He uses kickboxing/boxing and grappling/jiu-jitsu. He is a lot like GSP in that he cross-trains and is well-rounded etc.

He is dangerous b/c he has good timing/reflexes and skills. Rampage or Hendo or a good wreslter could cause him problems. Who knows though maybe he will become champ soon.
