Machida fans are like Celine Dion fans

No, my logic is being more impressed by aggression than by technique means you're less of a Martial Arts fan.

Maybe you should also give a little respect to Lyoto's opponents. Tito Ortiz isn't exactly easy to finish in a fight. Rich Franklin has been beaten by two men in his career A. Silva and Machida. And Machida finished him. Machida finished Stephan Bonnar which is something the last two ufc lhw champs (Forrest and Rashad) couldn't do.

What I am trying to say is that Machida doesn't seem to be able to finish just about any of his opponents, which I think reflects on his skills. Now what I think you were trying to say was that Machida tried to finish his fights, but couldn't, which I don't think is doing a very good job of defending his fighting style.

No - I started going for him. At the end of the day I can respect and admire aspects of Lyotos skill set and still not like him.

My right.

Have you seen the lyoto/bonnar fight?

Bonnar took more damag against griffin. The fight was stopped by the ref pretty early.

Michida haters are a lot like doofuses who likely piss their pants at the idea of Fighting, and would shake his hand and kiss his ass if they ever got the chance to meet him rather than tell him how boring he is.

But I don't know any Celine Dion songs...



(look up, iTunes)

Ok, yeah, well.

I've heard O Holy Night before.
and Ave Maria, but the 20-sec samples are killing me.
