Lyoto Machida On Rashad Evans: "I see some flaws in his game." - Page 12

I think that what Lyoto is trying to say is that Rashad is not elusie enough.

But in all seriousness I think that Rashad vs. Machida could be a potential snooze fest.

I know Rashad is not considered a boring fighter anymore since he has put up a couple of exciting performances, but I think his gameplan against Machida would be different and could lead to a 5 round boring fight with Machida winning by backpedaling the whole fight.

LACK OF KO POWER.

In related news, you do not have to KO your opponent to win.

Griffin-Rampage

Forrest was able to exploit Rampage's game; Lyoto would make him look foolish.

Rashad via a very boring decision.

Franklin= Smaller fighter, Penn= Ridiculously smaller fighter that shouldn't have ever fought Machida, and Tito was on his way out and not top of the food chain when they fought. I'm expecting for the Machida war wagon to be destroyed by the first heat seeking striker that he fights.

Almost getting triangle choke submitted by "Chee-toh" Ortiz shows that Machida has some flaws in his game as well.
