The real reason Machida is hated by MMAfans is because

1) most "fans" believe that asian TMA's and karate and TKD are tottally useless and some mystical fake shit that doesn't really work. a total lack of respect. even though guys like GSP and Liddell come from TMA backgrounds, they are considered wrestlers or boxers by the fans in order to discredit ASian TMA's and to credit western combat sports.

2) he is half Japanese and has Asian name. Most UFC fans hate all things Pride and Japanese and asian TMAs. Also, you must remember that Americans have been indoctrinated by the state sponsored media to think that Asians are physically inferior to whites and blacks. this goes against their basic values they were indoctrinated with.

Take the wool out of your eyes kid, you really think we live in some type of Utopia.

I speak the truth from experience and observation. If you think racial indoctrination doesn't exist then you are either blind or brainwahed into it so deeply, it is interwoven into your subconscious and you are unable to recognize the truth when it appears right before you.

The check to leg sweep he did on soko was amazing.

I believe it was a judo based hip throw that involves bending the hind leg for a trip. I could be totally wrong because I've only watched the fight once and I haven't done that throw that I have in mind in at least 15 years.

I can only admire Machida's technical diversity and incredible execution.
