Hey my man. You rock either way and I appreciate your insight, but the video stuff was better. Hope it's not too long till you get tech glitches figured out.
Hey dan man its been a long time dude i dont know if you remember me but i used to watch all your vids when they first came out an you even meation me in one of your vids, i havent had much time for this thing due to family issues, g/f issues, but the good news is i just had a little baby boy hes 5 months old, if you dont remember me it will be really weird lol so i hope you do
No it wouldn't! Answer me this, after Machida bores Rampage to death for 25 minutes and takes his belt via sleep induced submission, are you (or anyone in their right mind) gonna pay for the PPV to watch Machida defend his title?

Thats ok, but it doesn't change the fact that that fight was not very exciting. You might pay to see technical masters of the sport prance around the cage but the rest of us like to see a little action and agression. Sure Machida's style may be very good to use, but when you're trying to entertain the crowd, I prefer a more agressive style. Dana White himself said that he'll give a fighter the money win or lose,as long as he gives it his all. Machida held back alot compared to his other fights.
i want to ask this of all these dumb fucks that are pissed off at machida's clear superior skill:
if you were machida, would you do what he did, and dodge and stay fresh, or would you on purpose stand there and let your ass get kicked, just to "put on a good show".
if you chose the latter, then you need to go back to professional wrestling where they do that.
Yeah, that's what I said, for Lyoto to stand still and trade with Tito. If those are the only two options that come to mind for you... then who is the "Dumb fuck" here? Sidestepping for 15 minutes and only making some effort in the last 10 secs of each round is boring. But if you're entertained by jumping kicks that are basically just for show, who should be watching pro wrestling? And Dana doesn't like boring fighters either.
So you like getting hit in the head? I feel sorry for your brain cells.
Dana? Dana likes people who make Tito look like a fool. I bet he loves Machida now.
The point is this: real fighters come to fight and win, not to entertain the public. The best way to win is to fight accordingly to your strengths and strategy. Do you remember the first UFCs? People didn't know/understand BJJ and Gracie got booed in every fight. People thought that Royce Gracie was "boring" and "gay"! But he won every time.
Actually no. I remember the crowd going crazy for Pat Smith and getting pissed when he lost. I remember boos in the Minoki Ichihara fight. I remember guys yelling "Hit him, hit him!". I remember people complaining how BJJ is "boring gay-ass dry humping". And I remember how people thought Ninjitsu was teh deadly l33t stuff. xD
Yes, times have changed and I hope people will grow to understand and love Machida's style as well.
That is the bad thing. Lyoto obviously has the ability to finish people. But instead he goes to decision like 70% of the time. Yes, obviously they want to win but if you aren't entertaining while doing so then I doubt you'll last long. Look at what happened to David Loiseau after Swick. May happen to Rashad too.
The only problem with that argument is that Royce Gracie finished fights. They were exciting to watch. It isn't my prob that Americans don't have the ability to understand grappling
It isn't hard to submit guys who know NOTHING about ground fighting (UFC 1-4). Royce struggled against decent grapplers though. Had boring draws with Judo guys and Ken Shamrock. Lost to Sakubara, Hughes.
Lyoto's fights with Franklin, Bonnar, Nakamura and Soko were VERY entertaining. I personally loved the Heath bout as well. But I'll agree that he was too cautious against Tito. I just hope he TKOs the next guy he faces to shut people's mouths. I'm sure he'll try to finish his future fights.
"Americans don't have the ability to understand grappling " Not Really. Only new fans lack the ability to understand grappling. MMA as we know it today is AMERICAN
Yes Lyoto obviously has technique, and props for being so elusive. But Xenu, he puts on a boring fight! 8/13 fights that have gone to decision... please. Maybe a little more exciting than a Sylvia fight. He needs to fight to win and not for points (How he gets any on aggression + octagon control is beyond me)
Lyoto threw and landed more than Tito so I'm pretty sure Tito lost the "aggression" criteria. He may have had "octagon control" but he couldn't do anything with it. What good is ring generalship if you can't land a punch?
No argument here, but Shirk's best option would have been to come in the 2nd round and start shooting like crazy, because the one area BJ, has been vulnerable in some fights, is cardio. I really think Shirk thought he would land a knock out blow, and got sucked into fighting BJ's fight. I was pulling for BJ by the way. I have seen too many fighters fight another's fight, and get whooped, while abondoning there strenghts.

No fight with Machida would be good. His fighting style sux. All he does is defend, defend, defend, and then come in for a quick hit.
ratnick 3 years ago
1. Watch his fight with Rich Franklin or Soko. If you find those "boring" then I guess you're just biased.
2. If you were an MMA fighter what would you prefer:
a) Scoring a TKO but getting beaten to a pulp in the process?
b) Getting a decision while sustaining no damage?
If you chose a) then your self preservation instinct is broken.
