Machida attacks like a surgeon. If he were to fight an identical opponent it would instantly move to a finishing game. "defensive"? Not hardly. I think you're seeing him waiting while he mentally tallies points. He never wants to lose a decision, and it shows in his style. But he sees an opening to finish before any of us spectators do, guaranteed.
Showdown Joe is not only the ugliest person I've ever seen on t.v (not even including his trademark asschin) but his picks for pound for pound best are some of the stupidest I've ever fucking seen, what a fucking douchebag. He makes me ashamed Im Canadian.
Give me a break. I saw that fight and all the BS that went with it afterwards. I followed that story intently and saw virtually every clip you could see where GSP supposedly cheats.
If that isn't one of the most overwrought, blatantly silly, smear campaigns ever, I don't know what is.
BJ Penn is a sore loser. He ALWAYS has been and he always will be. The guy is great at 155 but he's just not good/big enough to hang with people who outweigh him by 20-30+ pounds.
True but its just the rules, wethergsp knew about it or not it was considered cheating, and it can be an advantage because making gsp slippery to hold onto and to get to the ground But its not the end of th world either.
The rules should be followed. GSP's corner (because they seemed to be the most guilty) should have known better and realized that what they were doing could seriously jeopardize his reputation.
Glad that we can discuss this in a civilized manner without name calling and insults like most YouTube posts.
machida doesnt fight. he's a karate guy. the very basis of karate is defense. you are not suppose to hit unless you are in danger. machida's game plan is defense, and then getting that one hit to stun them, then go in for the kill. the only reason why machida still even has a job is becuz of his opponnets who come to attack. imagine seeing machida vs machida. boring as hell
@flexwheelR is that why he kneed the fuck out of people, threw tito around like a little kid, KO'ed rashad, KO'ed rich franklin, and outstriked rampage and destroyed rampage??
@flexwheelR not at all dude. UFC is way past a single dimension fighter. Most fighters begin with a base and Machida's base is karate but he is not limited to that. he's a pretty offensive fighter and doesn't really wait to counter in his fights. the only fighter who really is truly a counter striker is the middleweight champ, Anderson Silva
@flexwheelR Not true, machida goes forward as well. You seem to be discounting georges' stand up being karate as well. In Karate tournaments (Yes, they exist, which means that you must have an aggressor) you accumulate points for strikes, which can either be reactionary or aggressive. Its not hard to research, just check out some karate tournaments in youtube and you'll see. Karate is NOT just counter striking.
@flexwheelR WHen he fought reshad it was two defense fighters but some one has to attack just have to feint the opponent so not so boring when some has to win
@flexwheelR that's not true at all.Muhammad Ali understood and Machida understood that the most important things it's defense and never getting tired.opponents can throw 100 punches per round. if they hit only 7-10% of the time it's you who really won.

GSP did NOT cheat.
Virility 2 years ago
Rubbing vaseline on anything but the face is an illegal thing to do. He got in trouble with the commission. They labeled it as cheating.
GeNeStRoNg 2 years ago
Except that it was incidental and declared as such. He didn't go out of his way to smear lube on himself purposely.
Besides which, he dominated that match standing and on the ground and at no point did BJ Penn have an advantage that was undermined by vaseline.
Penn was utterly and completely dominated. For people to question the win over a few grams of vaseline across the shoulders is just silly.
Penn is a bad loser. That's about the most you can get from the entire debacle.
