Lyoto Machida On Rashad Evans: "I see some flaws in his game."

God I would love to see these two go at it. Good interview with Machida, talks about Mir beating Nog and says he deserves a title shot if he wins against Silva but that if he doesn't get the shot he'll just keep working harder. Gotta love this guys attitude.

All good things come to those who wait, Lyoto will get his shot soon, Dana has already started his promotion of him, its just a matter of time now, 2 or 3 fights down the road i think we will have a new LHW champ.

I hope it doesn't take that long. The guys already had like 5 ot 6 fights in the UFC. I think if he beats Silva then he earns a shot.

It's started already. He better beat Thiago

Can't wait! Been cheering for Machida since his KO of Franklin

If Lyoto beats Machida he deserves the shot alot more than Jackson. Plus you have the novelty of 2 undefeated fighters fighting for the title.

Iron Hand · 01-08-2009, 05:27 AM

Okey. And I see some flaws in Machida's game.

LACK OF KO POWER.

Lyoto probably wont beat Machida, but maybe he will beat Thiago.

First thing's first: Putting an L on Thiago Silva's record. Then (hopefully) Rashad's.

On a side note, I hope someone from Jackson's camp tells Rashad to pinch his nipples. I want that myth exposed.

Hasn't hurt him yet. You don't need KO power if no one can hit you.
