This was not a boring fight in any way. The people that are saying all Machida did was run have no idea what they are talking about. Go back to watching WWE

Well machida doesnt need defense if he doesn't actually fight.

What he needs is an ipod and a tracksuit ( with a badass dragon embroidered lol).

Then he can exhibit some sweet "Defense" by your defintion and flee.

keeping your hands up can only do so much when you can be hit any where on your body dumbass. Notice Tito had his hands up and got fucked up by a big knee and the whole fight in general.

No man really, who would pay to see Machida in a title fight or a fight in general after that 15 minute borefest.

Absolute BRILLIANT comparison dude. Kudos to you (no sarcasm). Ali's "float like a butterfly" is the same damn thing.

Lyoto is extremely intelligent and a gifted technician in the cage. He doesn't run, he game plans for each fight to work his opponents strengths and weaknesses.

People have been comparing Kalib and Lyoto and that is utterly ridiculous. Kalib ran the entire fight, Machida picked Tito apart, BIG DIFFERENCE. Lyoto is a very smart fighter with excellent technique. He approaches each fight differently depending on the opponent.

Lyoto finished Soku in his last fight and nobody was bitching about him being boring. Some people do not understand game planning for a fight. If you know that you are facing a big, strong wrestler with excellent GnP then you would be a fucking retard to get in there and be in a position to get taken down and beat on.

Lyoto was "sticking and moving" not just running. He was catching Tito with leg kicks and punches. He even opened up a cut on Tito's eye. He was able to stuff any TD attempt from Tito and counter. He even took Tito down and knocked him down.

As for not trying to finish the fight, that is complete BS.

He took him down in the 1st round and was using some pretty damn good GnP in an ATTEMPT TO FINISH the fight. The bell sounded so he didn't get to finish him.

In the 3rd round he nailed Tito with a knee to the mid section that buckled Tito big time after which Lyoto jumped on him for some GnP in AN ATTEMPT TO FINISH the fight. Tito was able to sustain the attack and get a triangle choke locked in stopping Lyoto from finishing the fight. Lyoto escaped the triangle/Tito switched to an armbar and the bell sounded.

If he was "running" the whole fight he wouldn't have been able to do any of the above. I am really starting to wonder if any of these people actually watched the fight. What did you want him to do? Let Tito take him down and GnP him?

People saying Lyoto did nothing are ignorant and/or need to remove the "I am a Tito nuthugger" glasses off and re-watch the fight.

I totally agree with you anyone saying that machida run has to learn more about how a perfect gameplan can work for you.... props to tito anyway fof that triangle it made me jump of my seat

Well building a wall can also be considered a defense too smart guy but well i didn't think you wanted me to fill out a fucking list and explain how they work as adequate defenses. You sir have brain damage, but listen, it's not your fault...watching machida fights happens to do that to people.

Heres my diagnosis....WATCH THE FUCKING FIGHTS AFTER MACHIDA ORTIZ...

that's what people pay to watch

that's what will cure you're ailments
