A. His striking isnt great, but it's not like it's royce gracie level. He can hold his own.
B. He has heart
c. Ofcourse has has probably the best Gnp+Top control+sub defense in the LHW division.
d. He is dangerous off his back.
e. He has yet to lose to a TUFer like Shogun and Chuck has. That should say something.
Conclusion: Tito is still a top fighter and impressed me with that sick ass triangle. It's just everyone looks stupid against Machida. Even Soku who has destroyed 3 quality opponents in the first round.
Machida is modern Royce gracie. Nobody had an answer for Royce in the early 90's. Same for Machida now, until a modern Sakuraba comes and hunts him.
Im not a tito hugger, just giving credit where credit is due. He is hard to finish, is well rounded and always brings it.
