The Official Machida Sub-forum

This thread put me to sleep like the fight itself.

[DODZILLA]

and what exactly are you a "vet" of TS? anything important? a war? pro fighter? sniffing your mams dirty drawz? you fucking people that think posting on sherdog makes you important, more knowledgable, or "a vet" is pathetic ... youre not a "vet" of anything except being a whiny, opinonated, ultra feminine keyboard warrior.... and btw thats not something to be proud of. take your "vets prospective" and put it in your ass because it means nothing ... if you died no one would care

That fight was everything I hoped for and it still SURPASSED what I expected.

ill agree with you on the second part, i expected him to be a bit more tentative, but lately hes been going ape shit when he gets a guy to crumple to the ground.

I was there.

Actually no, it was a premature stoppage. John was never out, if Miyagi had hit him with the last punch maybe. Sure John had bloody knuckles from the car windows, but he was never out!!

Machida has practiced many martial arts, and honestly I think his sumo skills plays the biggest factor in his game against wrestlers/grapplers who try to take him down, his hip explosiveness is what sets him apart from everyone else allowing him to reverse them effortlessly, thats what just makes him so special and unique, he's trained in almost every aspect of MMA and if he gets passed the big dogs of the LHW div I don't see how he'll be stopped

I understand what your saying, and agree, Silva is the fucking man, but the fact he doesn't speak english or very little makes it much harder to market him. Not that he doesn't deserve it, I'm just saying.

huh?? What was that?

I guess I gotta watch the Karate Kid movies again 'cos I don't know what you guys are talkin' about.

wtf.a fighter gets on here and gives a pretty legitimate statement which is factual and you come at him like that.machida is absolutely brilliant in what he does,it just fucking sucks to watch it.i love technique,but machida is boring period.people want to see ko's and submissions,or atleast entertaining decisions.not an ice skater that is flashy for a brief time.
