He ran all over Thiago Silva's face.

And then proceeds to throw ten attacks in a third of a second?

You're an idiot.

How dare Machida put up any sort of defense and avoid hits.

Everyone on the left.

I agree. Still, I would be very happy if Shogun and Yoshida won their fights.

Because everyone knows that getting hit more means you're an exciting fighter.

Because all he does is run...he may win but he runs too much...hes boring....everyone knows that...just jump on his flurries and say thats an "active round" whatever...we should have compu box in there to show how inactive he is.

I hope he losses

Because everyone knows that constant evading without countering is called avoiding. Machida does waaay too much avoiding.

I'm now convinced you've never actually watched Machida fight and are just parroting the same nonsense you've heard from every other idiot who doesn't know what they're looking at when he fights. Congratulations, you're a walking MMA fan stereotype!

I stand corrected. It sure seems like there is a lot of standing around in his fights. 40 strikes in 5 minutes..wow thats 7.5 strikes a minute

Of his 13 wins, eight have come by decision, which reinforces the argument that his fights are boring.

And I went and searched "Machida is Boring" and came up with MANY>>MANY sites with articles that say he is boring.

I knew I wasnt the only one who thinks so....Maby its because his fights ARE.

Oh, wait...no its because all you machida nuthuggers "understand" more that the rest of the world because you "special insight" is so profound and correct.

Or maby his fights go to decision a lot and there is lapses of a long time with no action.

Wow did you miss the train. Shame you joined BS after the "MACHIDA = STARNES!" bandwagon officially finished it's run on January 31, 2009.
