How Machida v T.Silva REALLY plays out(gifs)

[EdMan1980]

I want Machida to win so that he can shut up all the whiners on Sherdog that say he isn't "exciting" to watch. Go pick a fight at a bar you idiots.

[Depth]

The upcoming 2009 LHW champ.

War Machida!

Machida has the tools to beat all UFC LHWs, in my opinion.

This next fight will show us a lot.

lol....he puts them to sleep....just like all the viewers.

i bet the ratings get cut in half for 15 minutes when machida fights are on.

he may throw cool sweeps and cool double kicks and cool spinning fireball backfists but there is no question when he steps into the ring that you'll have to wait an average of 14:50 to watch him win a decision.

just boring IMO. if i wanna see cool kicks and flips and shit i can just watch people train. i want to see all that skill used effectively to FINISH people, not just to sweep the leg danielson.

i predict Machida to be the first undefeated fighter to get released and never get a title shot.

PS: every fighter machida beat in the UFC has a losing record in the UFC, except for Tito....and if you take away tito's wins against shamrock he's basically 0.500

Ryu by decision

i love seeing people with high post counts assume that post counts are a measure of knowledge.

you also need to check your reading comprehension....cause no where did i say machida was going to lose. I just said IMO he is boring to watch because of the fact that he doesnt finish fights.
