I agree

I like a spectacle as much as the next guy, but I totally agree with this poster. MMA is exciting not because of blood and guts, but because of the finesse and technique. The fact that no one has beaten Machida is a credit to him. In my opinion, his style makes other fighters "look bad". That is not exactly the same as him looking good. It furthermore makes his fights less exciting than many viewers would prefer. That said, I don't miss a Machida fight because I want to see who/how is going to solve the riddle.

Seriously, who wasn't hoping Ortiz was going to secure that triangle? I can't remember the last time I was rooting for Ortiz before that moment.
