I think you're on the wrong forum with the sex talk about people beating themselves.

Fighters are going to catch on to his style and not be out elusived taking Machida out of his realm where he'll have no choice but to finish or be finished. I say the first strategically aggressive or first guy to change his game and play elusive with Machida will beat him, I want to see him get shut off badly and I think its only a matter of time before he fights a striker that will do it to him.

LACK OF KO POWER.
i watched the machida vs Tito fight last night on spike.

I used to be one of the guys who said Machida was boring, elusive was more like him being a bitch. Tito was clearly frustrated the whole fight and thats what makes machida good. He strikes and pounces out. But he is a legit striker. After watching the fight again I think he is aggressive as a fighter but just when he sees fit. He is a chess player. He is the player that takes minutes for one move while the guy he plays against takes seconds. He picked apart tito. Side stepped a shoot. Gave him all he could handle. He almost finished tito as well.

My opinion changed. However Rashad will still beat him if Thiago doesnt first.

they all have flaws, it just a matter of who makes the most of their own strong sides. I'd love to see Machida vs Rashad.

Machida by UD. Don't see how rashad would beat machida.

Another jab at Rashad from MaCheetah.

What was his quote on Evans/Griffin?
"I believe Forrest has stronger points than Rashad".
How did that work for ya buddy?

BTW there are holes in his, yours and every fighters game.

Holes in Machida's game:
Letting the judges decide the outcome.
Can't punch through a wet paper bag with scissors in his hands.
