Machida - Messes up Tito's face, cut him, hence the sunglasses at the post fight

Starnes - No

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Machida - Took Tito down and mauled him with some very good GnP, almost finished the fight but the bell sounded

Starnes - No

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Machida - Nailed Tito with an awesome knee to the body buckling Tito and followed up with some more GnP

Starnes - No

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Completely idiotic to compare the two.

Good Footwork, Very elusive. But He has done that since day 1 and it is very frustrating to watch at times and to fight

'Machida almost paid because he let a fight he could have ended in 3 minutes go 3 full rounds. '-bungyo
guess your logic is the same as if you said Tito almost won

That's boring alright. Technique, fluidity, speed, and utter domination.
fuck all that shit. it's not technique, fluidity, speed, and his utter domination. it's his fuggin elusiveness.

why the fuck does everyone think you are boring if a lot of your fights go to decisions? some of the best fights out there are decisions like cro cop vs fedor, silva vs liddell, griffin vs guida and jackson vs henderson

these people are just ignorant

For those of you who have called Machida boring, gowatch some early Ali boxing fights. Is that boring too? There's a difference between running, and dodging and throwing off your opponent's rhythm. There's nothing boring about watching Machida totally frustrate his opponents, only to capitalize on the smallest weakness. But hey... it's all about watching two guys beat the shit out each other right? Who cares about skill?

Here's some advice: Go watch street fights on youtube if you don't like MMA. Somebody always gets knocked out in them.

That fight was great. Not everyone is going to appreciate his technique, but he's a phenomenal fighter.
