BuyTheTicketTakeTheRide -random_perv - Useless, when has he ever used it.In many interviews Georges has credited his wrestling abilities to Karate. Timing/movement and capitalisation of your opponents mistakes epitomises karate, and GSP's style.
Different way to look at it. He must have some gained some kind of footwork too, I suppose. 
Newaza freak - What rank is it In Kyokushin where he has
To perform a 100 man kumite and will GSP ever try it?

Well...Daniel LaRusso showed us that in order to win the All Valley Karate Championships, he had to score points.
congrats to him. kyokushin has got to be the only mc dojo proof martial art left
Sick awesome job gsp. Hope you can start using it more often but thats cool to know your improving always.
Nice. GSP is the man.
Kyokushin 3rd Dan is no joke.
Congrats.
Pretty cool he still manages to achieve during his down time in the UFC.

In kyokushin you score point by knocking people down and out.
From http://www.kyokushin.co.uk/full.htm
"The winner shall be determined on full point (IPPON) or at time one half point (WAZA-ARI). Two half points awarded will constitute one full point."
tres_equis_666 -Yes. Half point (Wazari) is for knocking someone down or temporarily rendering them unable to fight, where they are ready to fight again within a few seconds (3-5 seconds depending on organization) .

Kyokushin is not a mcdojo martial art.. these guys are legit badasses.
Congrats to GSP.

Full point (Ippon) is for knocking someone out or making them unable to fight for a longer period of time.
Noone gives a crap about how many times you hit, or how good the hits looks -if the opponent goes down -they score points, if the opponent keeps going they do not.
Thereby my comment " In kyokushin you score point by knocking people down and out.".
tres_equis_666 -In that case ok. but please be aware that anyone who drags up karate kid characters/events in forums, and comparing them to kyokushin/other real karate, are not going to be given the benefit of a doubt.
Not disagreeing with you sir. I was reinforcing your point.
lol @ kyokushin being useless. Its one of the toughest striking arts out there
I think that MMA should judge striking somewhat the same. Not on how many strikes thrown or landed but how effective they were. As far as damage and knockdowns. Quality over quantity. Knockdowns should score as much or maybe more then takesowns. Damage > control
