Roy Nelson's fighting style is Kung Fu and hes a mixed martial artist in ufc.
mma isnt necessarily better than any single art. in mma you cant even use a lot of the moves you would learn in karate or tae kwon do. its almost like comparing apples and oranges. an skilled mma guy say like a prime randy couture(wrestler) that doesnt know karate and fights in a karate tournament against a skilled karate dude say like semmy schilts. schilts would probably kill couture. now if schilts went to fight a prime randy in ufc, couture is probably going to win because of his superior wrestling. look at his pride fights against fedor emelianenko or sergei kharitonov. they used their sambo/wrestling skills to take him down and defeat him. i bet he would beat them all in karate though.
