his fight with soko should've really solidified the fact that he is a highly skilled and brilliant fighter. his game plan for that fight was impeccable

I agree....and his next opponent better be prepared. It will be very interesting to see who it will be, or if the rumors about Tito are true. I think that either Tito or Rashad are great next tests for him because he has yet to face a strong wrestler who will try to overwhelm him with strength and put him on his back. Now, I think that Machida is capable of dealing with that style, but he is relatively unproven against a very strong wrestler or GnPer, and I think either Tito or Rashad are the perfect gatekeepers into the elite of the division that would mark his entry (or need to gain more experience), into the top of the division.

TS- well said.

Machida should be the champ.

No matter what other people say, and how they bash him for being "boring as fuck", he's still a joy to watch in my eyes.

Stylistically he is the best fighter in MMA IMO.

He will be hard to beat becasue his counterstriking is so very good. From time to time he will not finish fights, but that is because of the style he used to fight.

I am not saying he can beat (finish) everybody, but I don't think anybody can beat (finish) him either.

His movement is great and he usually catches his opponents flat footed or at a bad stance and then he capitalises, he is the most elusive fighter i've ever seen and fighting in the octagon is perfect for him.
