Silva and Machida start to trade off, Machida attacking from the outside

Silva tries to close the gap with Machida, and becomes vulnerable to karate sweeps

Silva, now frusterated with Machida, becomes over aggressive and while trying to engage, gets caught and dropped with a straight left

The straight left connects perfectly with Thiago, putting him into a long restful sleep

I have not seen him fight alot but i know he was good standup, hows his ground game?

Love that 1st gif - karate at its finest and one of the reasons i always look forward to seeing Machida.
Thiago has a chance though - about 1% chance.

Lets wait and see how this plays out. This will be the first time we see Machida fight a striker that has good ground game. Lets how he does vs a guy that has a good KO ratio and is a aggresive fighter.
