There's no doubt who the true Karate Kid of the UFC is.

Lyoto Machida has been the most successful practitioner of the traditional martial art in MMA and he really focuses on the old-school techniques. The middleweight contender recently posted a video of himself drilling kicks against a tree and doesn't hold anything back. https://instagram.com/p/0vNn3AJ6RK/?taken-by=lyotomachidafw The bark looks a hell of a lot tougher on the sole than Randy Couture's jaw. https://youtu.be/JnRpMXlJfA8
