If you look at the picture of the Wanderlei Silva/Chuck Liddell fight there is one where you can see that Chuck is in a great karate stance. He has his hand chambered down at his waist with the palm facing up. I think that the fundamentals of what people consider martial arts is there but they have been modified and sped up to adapted for use in MMA. That unless the fights are slown down or captured in pictures you might not be able to see them while watching it live.
