Is there any successful professional Karate fighters competing in MMA?

Question

I have yet to hear of any. Any Karate guys who know of any Karate fighters who fight in Pride, UFC, IFL, K1, etc.. who have good records or who are champions because I have never heard of any. Just curious.

Thank you for link Bushido with karate guy knocking out the pimp but I was more referring to professional fighting. Not someone beating someone up on the street who obviously doesn't train. Also the pimp didn't even throw a punch and had his hands down. If you could find me another video of lets say a Muay Thai guy, wrestler, or Brazilian Jiu Jitsu fighter vs. a Karate guy I would appreciate much more. Thank you for your feedback and I look forward to hearing more of your comments soon. By the way there are purists in the MMA world for example: Mirko Flipovic-Muay Thai and Rickson Gracie-Brazilian Jiu Jitsu

For those of you who do not know where Brazilian Jiu jitsu is devoloped from It originated as a fighting art in india and spread throughout asia into japan and became refined as Japanese Jiu Jitsu. Origin
The art began with Mitsuyo Maeda (later known as Count Koma), a Japanese expert judoka and member of the Kodokan. Jigoro Kano sent Maeda overseas to spread his Judo to the world. Eventually, Maeda immigrated to Brazil in the 1910s where an influential businessman named Gastão Gracie helped him get established. In return for his aid, Maeda taught the fighting art of Jujitsu to Gastão's son Carlos Gracie, who then taught the art to his brothers, including Hélio Gracie. The brothers trained many of their sons, who carried on the family tradition. Hélio had the opportunity to teach a class one day while Carlos was absent. Through constant technical refinement in training and real fighting, emphasizing ground-work, Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu as it is known today was created.

Answer 1

I thought I that the big ugly black guy they interviewed recently was a K1 combatant. I can't remember his name, but he evidentally beat the Iceman over there.
Okay, I looked and found out his name is Quinton "Rampage" Jackson. I could be wrong about his Karate background though.

Answer 2

I have bad news for you, brother. Training will help you get better with motion of each movement and what to do. The question is how quick minded are you? You can practice a move a 1000 times and still not think of it believe it or not. Even worse, every time that you get a new fight there are new strategies for you and it begins yet again. Training will help you understand the motions. The best thing you can do is just start competing. 5-6 years maybe enough and it may not be enough. Some people can just think faster under pressure. Fedor, GSP, BJ Penn, all the best guys are great at thinking of diffeernt strategies when the moment comes because all you can have at best during a fight is general outline.
