I disagree on both these points. Machida has shown that good karate can do very well in a standing fight, BBJ rules the fight on the gound and both are important aspects to a great fighter (along with many other things) I think you will see the best MMA fighters training harder on the karate aspect of thier game in coming years.
Karate has so many different styles that to say karate is harsh is a huge generalization and incorrect. A style like Kyokushin is fairly harsh and a syle like Shotokan is very technical and again they both have there place.
I like MMA as much as anyone but alone it's no style, it takes the best of all fighting arts to make great fighters
