    I won't go into specifics, since people will easily figure out who it is. He's won more than that, including national championships.

    Saw this gif the other day and it made me think "That's karate in MMA" (I know what he's doing is technically illegal in MMA).

    Basically dirty clinch fighting. Control the limbs and bash his face and head with the other. That to me is basically the essence of bunkai based, old style karate (before it got filtered through the Japanese University system and ippon humite).
    Grab, control, bash...Bosch.

    :whistle:

    Does that mean I can argue that he's using Aikido principles in MMA?

    It was a failure of the other guy to bring teh awesome wrist-grabbing counters!

    If only he'd done Aikido!

    Well he's getting punched in the face by a resisting opponent so I'd say yes...

    He's grabbing the glove. So aikido would be no help!
