I think Machida is a boring fighter and don't care to see him fight again.

I don't see what the big deal is. He is what he is. Don't care.

Stupid Tito fans
You idiots that hate Machida and Love Tito are what is wrong with many MMA fans. You don't appreciate a technically superior fighter. You just want to see a brawl with plenty of blood.
There have been legendary fighters that use a backpedal to lure an opponent in and force a mistake, then follow up with a vicious counterstrike (See Muhamad Ali Sugar Ray Leonard,
and Chuck Liddel) I suppose they are all pussies too??? It isn't tough to stand in an openents face and play his game, its stupid. You can call Machida whatever you want, I'll call him winner and next UFC Light Heavyweight Champ.
P.S. I wish Tito good luck trying to beat the likes of KIMBO, he'll need it.

I am far from a Machida hater. I am still neutral to him (although last night didn't help). But it is not even debatable that his style is not the most exciting, not even close to it. Calling people with opinions and fighting preferences that differ from yours haters, Tito Nuthuggers, and Kimbo Slice fans is childish at best. And it shows you cannot form an argument for yourself.

I don't care what people say, I enjoy watching Machida. In my eyes he doesn't run like some people have said, he just evades strikes, he doesn't back up excessively. He's technically so good, and when he turns up the heat, he puts people in serious trouble (so I can understand why some people are frustrated he isn't more aggressive).
I can honestly see Machida potentially being one the next truely dominant great MMA fighter, like a 205lb Fedor level of dominance.

I feel bad for Machida
I feel bad for Machida. Because Dana White will probably not give him a title fight based on the Boos he got in his post fight.
I have also realized out of all the people I was with watching the fights last night. Only the ones who have never fought or dont frequently watch fights. Thought Machida was boring. Because Its not like when he backed up he didn't do anything. He was throwing kicks, and punches almost the whole time. I truely believe that Machida is a bad match up for anyone at 205. There isn't anybody who i would say would beat Machida for sure. I wouldn't mind seeing a Thiago Silva v. Machida top contender fight though.

Machida is not the only unorthodox karate practitioner in the UFC...

Not that I would expect you to keep your promise, but I will pray every night for Dana to make Machida's next fight the main event of the evening.

Machida hit Tito many times with great kicks, not so many punches, but can any of you keyboard nuthuggers avoid Tito's takedowns like Machida did???
I don't think so, you must think of the art of the fight, if the fighters were as good as they talked then they would be able to do something about it, BJ Penn hit Machida a lot and took him down, why couldn't Tito??
Check out the vids they are on youtube, I am no nuthugger of BJ but even Stephan Bonner hit Machida more than Tito, I think Tito's standup really stinks, and Machida is as good as they say, so you should respect what he brings to the table, it is not like Floyd Mayweather knocks out all of his opponents either, he just moves around a lot during his fights and he is the best pfp boxer, wow, the double standard
