Like him but his chin has yet to be tested. That might be saying something of his movement. Excited to find out

I like watching him fight. Sure, it's not always a slug fest or street brawl, but one can appreciate Machida's style.

I still think Rampage'll take him, though!

Anderson Silva is also a very technical and intelligent fighter. He however is a bit more aggressive and exciting, different martial art though.

he's been 1 of my favorite fighters for a long time and probably is my #1, the fact that he is a master in the arts of karate, bjj, mt, and most importantly imo, sumo.

he's stated before he gets most of his hip explosiveness from his sumo training, which is what lets him reverse from bottom to top position effortlessly, now who else can you say has these kinds of credintials?

machida the truest Mma fighter

He wins, and that's all about him.
His victories aren't the most flashy ones but at least technically he's being flawless.

Can somebody explain to me how, exactly Machida is going to beat Tito?

Seriously. Machida plays into all of Tito's strengths. Sure Machida's wrestling is an unknown quality, but Brazilians aren't exactly known for their impenetrable sprawls and strong wrestling skills.

And sure he's elusive on the feet, but that by no means translates to eluding the takedown, that's two completely different games.

He also isn't known for his KO power. Tito will probably take some shots, but how much damage will they really do to him?

The bottom line is Machida is an odd fighter for those who rely heavily on their striking skills. Tito is not going to try to strike with him. He's going to take him down and either bury him or LnP for three rounds.

This seems pretty obvious to me, but I'm open to any arguments in Machida's favor. I know everyone hates Tito, but that doesn't necessarily mean he's a shit fighter.

he's gonna have to win this fight with his bjj, but Tito isn't an easy guy to submit...or sweep.

It's gonna be a tough fight for Machida, but I hope he somehow pulls it off.
