I think that you're totally right. However, I don't know that it'll be enough to stop a motivated Tito Ortiz. If Tito can eat those accurate shot and get the take-down, we could see an altogether different side of Lyoto.

Lyoto on his back? Think Machida v. Sam Greco.

He won a very very close SD, and had little answer for the side mount. Plus, Greco's G'n'P can't touch Tito's.

All this said, though, I still think Machida will probably take this fight.
