Lyoto Machida is a undefeated MMA fighter who currently fights in the UFC.
Lyoto is the son to Shotokan karate master Yoshizo Machida has also trained in sumo and Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu. He is a great fighter to watch and uses many shotokan techniques in his fights including ashi barai (foot/leg sweep) and ushiro-geri (back kick). He has victories over many top fighters including B J Penn, Tito Ortiz and Rich Franklin.
He is due release a book on karate in MMA, im sure it will be a worthy purchase because it is published by Victory Belt, who produce top martial arts material.
You can view a selection of Lyoto Machida's video clips on you tube.
