Whether it was kicks or punches, Machida was the aggressor. But I can't blame Tito. Nobody has been able to figure out Lyoto, yet.
I disagree, i've watched the fight a few times on DVR now, and Tito is clearly moving forward more than Machida. Tito tried backing him into the cage on multiple occasions but Lyoto would give a feint and keep moving laterally. Now I understand this is Machida's style, but he was definitely not the aggressor in this fight.
