I know I certainly would have enjoyed being the "Noob Saibat" of MMA.

Anyways, I can appreciate watching MMA for the action. I can see that appeal, obviously. But it certainly isn't the most interesting- otherwise, I would watch kung fu movies, dragonball z, rocky, and pro wrestling. The greatest appeal to MMA is the realism, and seeing which techniques are superior, and who can implement them in the most effective manner. So in my mind, Machida should be one of the MOST interesting fighters to watch, because he's someone yet to be figured out. He's fought solid strikers, wrestlers, and BJJ practitioners. Everytime he fights, it's like watching another piece to the riddle of "what is machida's weakness".

Anyways, I just woke up not too long ago, so if I came off as ranting, fuck you.

ok...
