Stephan Bonnar vs Lyoto Machida

[elmamututu]

ehh. lol

[secutorclaudius]

come on! he had plenty of blood left!!

[7117Rocker]

stupid stoppage

[sensfan10000]

i actually learned a lot from watching this fight...wrestling wise theres a lot more going on than u think

[MKTAPOUT]

Machida looks chubby

[00Jackacid]

yeah i was gonna say lyoto fights alot like bruce. i think its cause machida's father took alot from fencing aswell.

[gatunoization]

LYOTO. só isso e mais nada

[dhdhdhdhdhdhdc]

WAR MACHIDA FUCK JJ UP

[tpbu1109]

i cant believe lyoto gets so much shit for the shogun fight yea he got caught but it happens every fighter gets caught in a bad place eventually thats why the sport is very popular the competition and the way the title can change hands so easy you could lose a fight to someone then come back and fight the same person later and knock their ass out

[thierjp]

Bonnar was doing really good at the end

[shimanchunutakara]

machida sure can close the distance when he wants. bonnar started throwing a kick and before he could land machida already connected by the time bonnar's kick landed machida was too close and all the power was gone from the kick. i want to see if he can do that to jon jones.

[matheus16729]

lyoto machida luta demais ele quis dar um ushiro gueri ! sou karateca tbm eu sei !

[AlcoholicSemenStain2]

If they fough now. Machida by flying reverse axe kick first round

[Glidewell1122]

i loike stephan, but lol at 1:32

[00Jackacid]

i dont think bonnar has ever been knocked out. lot of heart. and lyotos my favorite fighter.

[MrSloanKetering]

fake

[jogonexon]

lyoto ta parecendo um frango gordo ae

at 2:43 -Bruce Lee's Wing chun theory of intercepting an opponent's strike with your own as he moves in to reach you.

[ilyaLiviz]

Stephan Bonnar is tuff!!! I think if this kept going with no time Stephan would have won because Latoya is a smaller fighter in 2003 and he still doesn't have the experience as he does now. Toward the end Latoya started to eat some serious knees. Either way this is a tuff fight! Both guys are great athletes...

[RyanDavis2306]

@ilyaLiviz doubt he would have won Machida didnt have a mark on him hardly and that cut on Bonnars right cheek was bad, every punch Machida landed was doing alot of damage

[nomehablesputo]

when i saw stephan bonnar and forest griffin on the ultimate fighter, they were my favourite guys, both laid back guys and really good fighters, great respect for them both. Also lyoto is a beast!

[johnsperow]

acabou com a cara do maluko ! rsrs

Bruce Lee's TKD at work:

2:05 - interception centerline

0:20 - attack just as the opponent tenses and winds up for an attack and plants his lead foot

0:53 - Feints

cutting off the angel -side stepping with parries

fencing power stance - the En Guard

[BandakaKush]

@novanine9 u mean JKD right?

[novanine9]

@BandakaKush - right, sorry...JKD.

Bruce lee's Fighting Method vol. 3 is the MMA bible

[82MichaelRay]

Machida beat Bonnar, Thiago, Rashad, Tito, Soak-a-Jew, and Couture! Pretty impressive if you ask me. Knocked out Two Undefeated Top Light Heavyweights!

[vinngrizzle]

wow that was lame yeah he bleeding but some vaseline on it not a life threatning cut

[Shitmyself888]

HEY what the F!!!! Since when do we call timeouts for a bloody nose, that is shit.

[WSyed1]

machida was sick in this video , great fighter !

[True40Warrior]

is that bonnar? he looks like a bobble head, like his head is computer generated.

[True40Warrior]

iisthat bonnaqr? he looks like a bobble head, like his head is computer generated.

[angelspackersrock]

bonnar's only legit losses are to current or former champions

[IOWNYOURTURFNOW95]

una manzanas

[rfc2031]

lyoto's timing is the best, his left straight punch has rocked many fighters

[londonjig]

Lyoto Machida is in by far the EASIEST weight class in the the History of combat sports......

~uncle chael

[pnfaraon]

lyoto is half brazilian and half japanese the two most serious martial arts countries in the world!

[TreeSideProductions]

0:32 he looks so scared ... Of course my face would look worse than that if i had to step in the ring with Lyoto Machida XD

[toni444444444444]

Machida & Andy Rug are 2 traditional Karate fighters who are excellent Kick boxers.Rugg was very strong with excellent kicks Machida is very smart, crafty & strong(for his size). Machida hits hard too. See how Bonnar is bleeding.

[xQWIKSCOPER32x]

haaaaaaaa stephan is a little bitch

[jaffar1808]

Wow very rare that you see a guy land a traditional reverse punch/cross with the back leg extended flat footed like that lyoto is the shit!

[THISISMADNESS123]

Bonnar Was So Pissed His Cut Was Crying =P

[BsFinalXMagikz]

So let me get this straight his name is boner.

[facenda21]

styles make fights. its hard to say it because your instincts tell you that the most aggressive guys win fights. but lyoto machida isnt very aggressive at all. his style enables him to fight using his technical skills. people like rampage who just swing for the fences win fights, but lyoto machida is one of the few left who still believe technique is key to winning fights.

[wonderbred2000]

stephan bonnar is a tough bastard, average fighter

[everio17]

fighting smart hurts less than fighting stupid.

[TheGreatLyger]

Bonnar is the only guy i know of that has fought machida and jon jones and wasn't finished by either....dude is a beast.

[jaganmaster]

@TheGreatLyger He was finished...TKO is a finish....Did u not just watch the vid?

[TheGreatLyger]

@jaganmaster

TKO by blood stoppage doesn't count to anyone who follows the sport .... especially one like this with not too horrible of a cut....

[cgwhiting]

just a scraze

[jacobthesexybitch66]

Why did they stop it? was it really that bad? He looked fine haha

[81charliebear]

Shotokan sucks! Lyoto RULZ!!! Its the fighter that fights the fight not the style! Gettin Bruce lee on it lol

[cyberhmoob]

Machida has terrible tank and would drop in a heartbeat but he wins often via dodges, evasion, parry, & skillful counters.

[mrMMA4L1F3]

machida dominated the whole fight up untill thhe end bonnar landed a few ok hits but didnt faze machida at all machida fucked his face up it looked liike he got jumped by a few people lol

[oneyakuza]

sa ne se voie vraiment pas que lyoto machida fait 98 kl

[TheShakiebreaks]

machida always plays it cautious then explodes with some nasty combo

[MrSeggest]

Machida vc Zé Banana.

[surgeon8024]

bonner looks real clumsy in this fight

[ZahinDenatrose]

Boner

[juanharryhenry]

Got to give Bonnar credit! He never backs down even with a serious cut in the face. Machida was just too fast for him and his style is just too hard to predict a counter.

[Rand0mGameStuff]

wtf, and at the end it looked like bonnar was winning...

[sldecker38]

damn, 1st good hit busted his shit open!

[gilkontik]

nem deu ...

[nodirbekable]

Bonnar has got some great heart! respect!

[matt31602]

i like the part where they didnt speak english

[leonelpqd]

caralhoooo o estilo machida é foha ele ñ muda...

[JohnnyBoyCali]

They stop this fight way too many dam times. This is MMA. If he bleeds then he bleeds. You dont stop the fight every few minutes to wipe his nose like a little kid.

[DangerousDejan]

@JohnnyBoyCali its for health reasons bro, its obviously low level promotion that dont have blood test, this guy could have aids or siphilis for all the ref knows, he needs to be safe. its good doing it like that, i am former amateur boxer and now mma fighter and i hate it if my oppenent blood touch me or even my blood touch them its dirty bro and u cant trust people these days..how the fuck do you know what somebody got in their blood, especially in brazil.

[JohnnyBoyCali]

@DangerousDejan ok thats a good point.

[buri2zaemon]

@DangerousDejan

LOL 

[0114770]

stephan bonnar has alot of heart, to bad he sucks

[666hellraiser1]

@0114770 step into the octagon with him for a few minutes and then you tell us who sucks then ;)

[MidWestOutdoorz]

"Oh wait, stop the fight he's bleeding!!!".... WTF!!!

[vampx2k7]

Man im glad machida dont wear them gay beach shorts no more!

[MaikSpike]

stopped watching at around 2 minutes 'cause it was so damn boring

[adairbritton]

@MaikSpike Too bad, you missed a great fight.

[jrh859]

Lyoto fights in a very intelligent and technical manner. Logically, if your fighting style enables you to take the least amount of damage, there is a greater chance your going to win the fight. Only an idiot wants to just stand there and get punched in the face when he has the speed and agility to avoid and counter it. That is his fighting style and it works for him. Fight smarter and you wont have to fight harder, it doesn't mean your a pussy at all.

[GleijsteenXIV]

@jrh859 Rashad Evans fights like a faggot...

[jamiegward1984]

@jrh859 I agree, but you gotta love guys like Nick Diaz that have that agility, but still plant their feet and bang.

[kelvyi]

@jrh859 I fucking hate how the judges like to put him on the losing score card because he moves backwards. Its not retreating its luring his opponents into a trap

[mcknives98745]

@kelvyi he's lost one decision in his career you fucking idiot

[kelvyi]

@mcknives98745 1. Troll I posted this 4 months ago. 2. When he fought Shogun and when he Fought Rampage his "Back Peddling" was counted against him although it wasn't "Back Peddling" Faggot get your shit straight before starting with other people kthx

[mcknives98745]

@kelvyi He won the Shogun decision. Viewers thought that was a poor effort, not the judges. Also, Shogun hit him a lot more than anyone else had. Which is to say "at all"

He lost the two rounds against Rampage because Rampage was actually boxing him in and pinning him against the fence for two rounds. I'm not saying that's a good way to win fights, but that's why it was scored against him.

MMA judges love evasive movement like Machida's, since quite a few of them are former karate judges.

[mcknives98745]

@kelvyi that said, i apologise for calling you an idiot. long day

[kelvyi]

@mcknives98745 It's cool I was having a sleepless work night myself. See i work at an MMA gym/Karate Dojo teaching little kids kick boxing and I am responsible for fun curriculum's and finanacing my classes so I was a little edgy as I couldn't figure out how and what to do.

[TheTerrorUforgot]

@kelvyi Megumi Fujii got cheated out of her number 1 spot because of that "effective aggression" BS

[buri2zaemon]

@jrh859

That's will be Shotokan Karate

[mustang4sho]

@jrh859 nope it means your fights are boring as fuck!

[machintruc313]

@jrh859 Move like a butterfly, sting like a bee  - Mohammad Ali-

[skatertuber123]

@machintruc313 it's Muhammad

[conmanconnor69]

@machintruc313 and its float like a butterfly

[raigami]

@jrh859: only a loser like tito likes to stand and bang. there is a reason why tito will never hold the belt again. please tito, leave the stand and bang to your ex-wife.

[fuji9991]

wow another completely mornic comment, you guys are full of them. As a UFC fan don't watch the co-in or main even. Really insightful and practical you are a genius

[Shenanigasm]

@fuji9991 Yeah but you're also looking at his fights on youtube.

[TWORUSTYGUNS]

That was worse than a Mazzagatti stoppage.

[ScrapeThoj]

1:33 BONNAR IS SO SLOW THE COUNTER GOT TO EM FIRST LOL

[The12081204]

Man! what a damage on Bonnar's face!

[HighVoltage1021]

the announcer said dick sucker at 15 sec

[fuji9991]

Fuck Lyoto! The guy doesn't fucking fight he just stands back runs away and counters. If a fighter did not attack Lyoto it would just be 3 rounds of 2 guys staring at each other.  Bonnar is the real fighter here and he looses because Lyoto is a technical counter evasion pussy fighter. If Bonnar sat back and countered like this fucking pussy there would be no fight at all.

[Layzie1107]

@fuji9991 Lyoto wins though!

[fuji9991]

@Layzie1107 yes in pussy evasion fashion ;) If we get enough fighters like that MMA we could just make it a marathon track event since its all about running.

[Layzie1107]

@fuji9991 It's about hitting and not being hit. As you can see with the Shogun Machida 2, Lyoto had his ass handed to him when he was caught. It's MMA. One bad move, and you're waking up asking the ref what happend.

[TheRussianRocket100]

@fuji9991 wow ur a fucking idiot. u get in the cage with him and he'll own ur fucking ass.

[smg1243]

@fuji9991 So, you're saying that a 'fighter' is someone who goes in with hands down and lets the other person beat the shit out of them? You go into a fight like that and tell me how it turns out.

[fuji9991]

To all the fucking morons responding to my post I am not getting in the cage, I am a fan who pays to see fights and Lyoto doesn't fight which is disappointing. What a stupid witless thing to say, why don't you get in the cage then huhuhuhuhuh <- redneck hillbilly throat laugh that comes after your moronic post, that is the best you got?

[smg1243]

@fuji9991 if you don't like the way he fights don't watch him fight then. plain and simple.

[iamyouifyouareme]

WHAT THE FUCK IS UP WITH THE TREES!?!?

[atrixospithikos]

wtf machida's every strike (few as usual, he always throws very few unless he is going for the kill) is causing bloodshed, he is like sniper rarely seen someone so accurate...

[TimichCop]

i think a rematch between stephan et lyoto would be interesting and fair :)

[rHychau5]

is tat a tree inside a mma stadium???/

[BurningHammered]

Machida got fucked up by Shogun in his last fight. Shogun also should have won the first fight.

Bonnar is a cool and tough dude with an awesome chin.

[ChiStriker]

@BurningHammered yea but Bonnar looks like a faggot

[BurningHammered]

No one cares who he looks. Antonio Silva is one of the ugliest fighters ive ever seen. Who cares? Hes a great fighter.

[RamboC818]

@BurningHammered thats the jungle fight promotions

[AdamLuxTIC]

@BurningHammered Anderson**

[seith48]

@AdamLuxTIC no anderson looks normal on google search antonio silva and u will see he look like an ape btw no one calls anderson silva ugly loolllllz

[AdamLuxTIC]

@seith48 Oh big foot...! yeah fugly beast that dude.

[seith48]

@AdamLuxTIC ololol

[Inediblehulk]

Lyoto moves like a ninja. I can't hear him at all!

[Montecristo2007]

Machida is a genious fighting

[Rajsad1]

seriusly a cut? machida hides some sharp nails under there or what?

[mikedjmix]

HAZZA!

[PunkHippie1971]

as a former karate fighter, this fight is full of fluent technique and displays shotokan karate's use for striking impressively. Say your opinions but respect the respectable fighters. There's little reason to show so much critical drama over a fighter that is clearly skilled in many areas. learn about martial arts a little too =D.

[sharinganWS]

jungle madness!

[lolSoloCreep]

Win or lose Stephan Bonnar loves to bleed.

[HKA25]

some boring shit

[prophecy7777]

Obviously the rules are a bit stricter than in the UFC or Pride guys. If this was boxing it prolly would of been stopped after the nose bleed.

[TWN321]

Tae kwon do sucks

[buri2zaemon]

Machida - Shotokan Karate blackbelt,

Bonnar - Taekwondo blackbelt

good fight... Machida is the only fighter which use his traditional striking forms, unlike other fighters that shows kickboxing style

[DangerousDejan]

@buri2zaemon machida karate blackbelt... the machida family has its own branch of karate.

[buri2zaemon]

@DangerousDejan

Yes Machida Karate, but his father is the head of JKF in Brazil, so he is associated with JKF Shotokan Karate

[TeamRoughNeck420]

@buri2zaemon I think Ryan Jimmo uses a verry effective traditional Karate stance. Idk what form of Karate that Jimmo comes from, but he sticks to it in all of his fights.

[buri2zaemon]

@TeamRoughNeck420

You are right, thanks for the info .. seems Jimmo is also Shotokan karate stlyist, and according to his statement he would like to fight in UFC in the future

[jasonsturner]

@buri2zaemon I like traditional martial arts too, but Muay Thai is also traditional.

[ahhfr3sh]

Seriously, why would you stop a fight for a nose bleed and a cut BELOW the eye?

[ifluxion]

Let's not nuthug Machida okay? I am huge Machida fan, but Machida lost fair and square against Shogun.

I still like Machida more and I think Machida is overall the better fighter since he can defeat more opponents than Shogun despite Shogun beat Machida.

[slashbecker]

@ifluxion yeah totally agree with you, Shogun just figured out how to beat Machida, Machida's weakness has been revealed, now he knows his weak points he'll work on them and come better to get his belt back anytime soon. Shogun on the other hand is an inconstant fighter, he wins difficult fights but loses easy fights, he can't keep a pace of wins long term.

[jthetrackr]

He lost by guillotine to Babalu in one of his earlier mma fights when he was still new and babalu was known. He then lost to mark coleman by default when his arm broke after landing awkwardly from a take-down. That was 8 wins in a row prior all by KO except 1. He wont on to win another 4 straight before losing to forrest griffin in his first fight after knee surgery. Other then that who else has he lost to? We all know he won the first Machida fight... how can you say he's inconsistent....

[Kanazawa88]

why the fuck there's a tree near the ring??

[gunz441]

damn hes leakin, someone get him an amberlamps

[gunz441]

damn hes leakin, haha

[kobkob06]

1:32 Bonnar eats it after a clumsy attempt to close the gap for a left leg round kick. LOL....funny as hell if you watch over and over. You can count two seconds from the time Bonnar telegraphs his intent with the right foot and when the kick nearly lands. Two seconds!

[rdogw]

everytime lyoto hit him he bleed

[Ronin6575]

Bonnar is certainly not afraid! He is a decent fighter.

When was this fight?  Anyone know?

[jparra20]

@Ronin6575 read the description

[stallione79]

Bonnar is such a bleeder. seems like every fight he bleeds all over his opponent.

[ulug89]

there is no way to win lyoto machida

[oblivionfan150]

@ulug89 usaully there's not, but some people have found his weeknes and there will be more eventauly....

[SuperBluepurple]

@ulug89 cough shogun cough j/k

[HandyManny00Lobos]

@SuperBluepurple

Fuck you that was just not Machida's night. He can beat Shogun right now.

[msckeeper]

Styles make fights. I think Machida can beat Shogun as well, but he has to find a way to fight his fight and deal with those leg kicks from Shogun.

[SuperBluepurple]

@HandyManny00Lobos lyotos my fave fighter because I do shotokan but even I don't ride his nuts that much 

[theUFC105]

Let alone glass jaw Glass FACE!!

[HomasterX]

so this is when stephan bonnar started the whole bloody face thing lol

[jeroliver]

wtf was that shit? Bonnar's been busted up way worse than that and still won the fight.

[sanddune]

@jeroliver Both cuts were under his eyes. Bad call.

[GanBoi91]

I think Rashad will beat Rua, he is a bad type matchup for Rua, Lyoto trying to strike with Rua got him KO'd (I may have cried a little). But Lyoto also exposed that Shogun's TD def is still questionable, and with a dominate grappler like Rashad (good wrestler BJJ blackbelt) he will get beat, my guess is Rashad by tko r4

[capcomwarrior2000]

@GanBoi91 i totally agree

[hak2791]

@GanBoi91 Rashad just got his black belt right before the rampage fight so only time will tell how much he's improved since he undefeated record hit the bump in the road called the dragon and as for shogun that guy will probarly lose the belt and get it back like 3 times not saying rashad would beat him just saying right now the LHW division has the most competition so who knows what forest or jardine or even silva since he's LHW now would do

[GanBoi91]

@hak2791 Rashad got his blackbelt the day of the Thiago Silva fight, alos, Jardine is cut from the UFC. Spider will maybe get a title shot in LHW if he can beat the loser of Shogun/Rashad as well as have an impressive win over Sonnen. I agree with the competitiveness of the LHW div, Jon Jones and Bader are sleepers right now, and I think one might be in contention for 2011. As far as Forrest goes, label him Gatekeeper for a while, he can't seem to pull together a good win streak.

[hak2791]

@GanBoi91 true but i dont see that belt staying in anyones hands for more than 3 fights it will definitely be switched more than other division unless Goku, Yuske Yerimeshe, Ryu, Ken or some other video game character or anime character becomes real i don't see anyone beating that kind of competition day in day out

[GanBoi91]

@hak2791 that's why no one has defended it more than once since Chuck was ruling the planet =p Competition too steep these days

[ToeCurlinglyGood]

@GanBoi91 rampage

[GanBoi91]

@ToeCurlinglyGood nope, Rampage defending only once to Hendo, then lost immediately after to Forrest Griffin.

[sanddune]

@GanBoi91 A lot of black belts in BJJ are in question.Shogun's and Rashad's are 2 different levels.

[GanBoi91]

@sanddune Rashad worked on his for over 8 years, he`s legitimate. Shogun was submitted by a brown belt in pro competition. I think Rashad has a better ground game.

[SeNs3NoEviL]

Small Ring

[Re4perZer0]

machida has NEVER lost a fight, 11-0

[ptran14444]

@Re4perZer0 actually he recently lost his title to shogun

[Re4perZer0]

@ptran14444 o wait yea i just checked thas right........now he has a 17-2 loss

[manmanguy]

This is like if Tyson fought an infant.

[RandytheAstonishing]

You can tell its a jungle fight because of the palm trees. Jungles are full of palm trees.

[jasonwalden]

@RandytheAstonishing hahaha
