Definitely.

I see Machida replicating Forrest/Tito, round 2.

Except Machida will do it for rounds 1, 2, and 3.

Machida is very respectful, the closest thing I've ever heard to him talking shit was his comment to Soko after the sub when he told him to go back to africa and train karate. Even that wasn't that bad.

It doesn't really take a lot of film study to figure out Tito's strengths and weaknesses. Get ready for the double leg, if you can stop the takedown you win the fight. If you allow him to control you, you will lose.

That was great. Was anyone shocked as fuck when Machida had a pretty deep voice? I expected him to sound like a squirrel.

his biggest weakness...

1) he thinks he can strike
2) he thinks he still isnt hurt (back and knees are hurta)
3) he shoots from a distance

Agreed. The key is to keep it standing and have it go past round 1.

Do you just make your av from their article? I can't wait either. This is like a UFC megacard.
