Take Lyoto Machida. Nobody in the world thought Karate would be effective in MMA competition. Since he was able to adapt his Karate knowledge to MMA, he's a HUGE puzzle for all fighters.
I gotta say I go by this movie line/quote by Bruce Lee. Both in Martial Arts & Music:
Teacher: What is the highest technique you hope to achieve?
Lee: To have no technique.

GSP's Base martial arts is also Karate. He is just such a freak he happened to pick up everything pretty easly.

True. GSP is a complete fighter. He really don't rely on 1 style like Machida does tho.

Machida isn't really one-dimensional.
He has very slick BJJ, and great judo as well.

That's true. But he has not used it yet. He hasn't been on the ground since the Tito Ortiz fight. He has rely exclusively on striking.

He has tons of weapons, but why use them if he doesn't need to? He uses throws and foot sweeps exceedingly well when he needs to. His tendency to stand with people hasn't exactly done him wrong so far! :)

Gmoney666
A better fight would be Gmoney666 vs. gmoney44 to determine who is the true gmoney. Gmoney666 would win as he is the original gmoney.

Hehe nice! Can I be the promoter? LoL
P.S: Be back with my picks
Gmoney666
There can only be one gmoney. Gmoney666 and gmoney44 should battle for the title of Gmoney. Gmoney666 will win as he is the true gmoney and gmoney44 is an imposter gmoney.
