The Official Machida Sub-forum

[RhythmAndStyle]

Machida ain't gonna KO anyone for a long time..too boring of a fighter..they need to give him Chuck and let Chuck hand him his first lost..than maybe Machida will start lettin his hands and feet go..till than..BORIN fighter...

[PlagueofwaR]

People make me laught. Because we want Machida to step it up, we only like slugfest and Forrest vs Bonnar fights...Geez...

Like I said on another post: Machida could and should step it up. It is fairly easy fighting when taking ZERO RISK.

People should undertand this : I love Machida, and I love his style, because he is different, BUT:

IF EVERY FIGHTER WOULD FIGHT LIKE MACHIDA, UFC WOULD GO OUT OF BUSINESS !!

This was my whole post, skip the best part I see.

YOU called ME a dumbass because i listed an example of defense and because I didn't also list body movement, like bobbing and weaving, i'm a "dumbass" according to your post..catch up on your grammar, you could then comprehend complex sentences and ideas that blend into one another and create a complex concept.

Means a lot with your avatar. Hats off.

But realistically I don't think it's the MMA fans that have a problem with Machida - it's the juvenile delinquents.

Major props to Tito for the triangle, though. That was the surprise of the night.

Bingo! Machida makes his opponents fight him and capitalizes on their mistakes.

Machida will be the champ, in my very humble estimation.

Either that or the naysayers (like the boxing critics) might take the sport seriously.

If you think all he did was run go back to youtube and watch Kimbo fights.

Machida made Tito look like a slow plodding dinosaur...a relic from a bygone era in MMA where one dimensional fighters could actually be somewhat competitive. Machida schooled Tito standing, he shrugged off Tito's weak takedown attempts and he even put Tito the mighty G&P'er on his back and hammered away on his bulbous melon. It was an excellent display of technical striking coupled with amazing footwork and movement. It was beautiful to watch him nail Tito at will with crisp, clean pin point striking and it was awesome watching him frustrate Tito by being able to completely nullify any offensive attempt Tito made. Tito wasn't able to land anything decent the entire fight, he was never able to hurt Machida and other then the sub attempt near the end he wasn't even close to having Machida in any real trouble.

I was never really much of a Machida fan and I don't think beating Tito Ortiz raises your stock all that much these days but what I do know for sure is that Tito is gone and I hope that all his little douche bag fans go with him. I wont miss his childish antics, his lame unfnny t-shirts, his stupid contrived drama, his constant griping about Dana White, etc, etc.

And I made $300 on the fight...

life is good =)

You're right, I was trying to get a well written complete sentence across, but instead all that came out was straight to the point nonsense. Sherdoggers will be upset and I have lost all respect from you. I feel absolutely horrible.

Oh, btw, have a good day dumbass.

those to exciting parts of the fight was about 10seconds of the whole fight. his double round kicks were cool looking but come on you cant put power into those, plus he was hitting him with his foot not shin
