Belfort vs. Silva, Shotokan vs. Muay Thai, interesting.
Honestly, what we usually see in UFC isn't just one style
against another style, but as we all know a blend of several.
The match-up, compelling nevertheless.

Sure Furiko zuki is sometimes covered in class but this guy was most certainly packing boxing style hook punches. I guess what I mean is that this guy gives off a karate aura (especially some nice trailing leg redressing) but he's mixing it up in the ring...surely?<br><br>Good comment from Remo: "not a bit of wasted movement"<br><br>Good post Matt.
