Mixed martial artists fight and spar on a regular basis. This dude would have a little more trouble with karate, tkd, muay thai, and BJJ which are all still considered traditional martial arts. The only difference is that they have more contact practice. The only contact martial art in China right now is sanshou which is not quite traditional and maybe "pre-MMA."

You are right.
Sparring is the basis behind any effective technique; for instance, defensive responsibility can’t be cultivated without exposure to effective offense of any kind.
All of the principles of technique that add layers to styles, such as: feinting, rythym, defensive responsibility, energy exertion, footwork (as in moving WITH a target), etc, can only be understood when exposed to adversity.
Traditional Martial Arts fail because there does not seem to be any organized sparring system present in most of them.

Which karate, though?
Karate has a lot of McDojos, at least in the US.

Observations from someone with a kung fu background...
The thing about the examples we see in these "fights" is that the traditional martial artists tend to panic every time they’re being attacked. They seemingly lack any sense of what’s practical and applicable with their style in a real fight situation. I trained in kung fu actively for 15 years, during that time we sparred to see what worked and what didn’t. Not everything translates and becomes wasted energy. You’ve GOT to learn to adapt and like someone so famously said "Be water, my friend." In my own humble opinion, these types of fights do nothing but pit the two PEOPLE who represent a style rather than the styles themselves. Varying experience levels along with age, height, weight, etc. all are contributing factor to the outcome of the fight and ONLY that fight between the two at the time.
