GSP? i dont think ive seen anything other then a solid leg kick you could really lable MT.

Of course someone will point something out to prove me wrong, but his stance/wepons he uses/even to what he wears into the ring should spell out Karate. His kicks are very flashy, not saying you couldnt use them in thai boxing, but usualy MT is all power and less finess, id say gsp has good power, but way better "finess". He always use'e some flashy spinning back kick.

But just look at his stance its way to long, althought i understand hes fighting MMA it needs to be long, but i know he has a extensive back ground in karate.
