i agree with you for ur first thought but not ur second on
I think Machida is too tactical for Shogun.

His style is so unique and technical, any fighter will have their hands full with him even before the fight. He must be so hard to train for. Is he up there with being the most well rounded fighers in the world?? I think he has to be in top 3 prob with A.Silva and BJ...not saying others aren't awesome too, but right now Machida is easily up there ain't he.

His reflexes are unreal. It's like he can see his opponents in slow motion and has all the time in the world to counter. People who arent impress by him... well they just suck.

I didn't know that there could be any MMA fans that aren't impressed with him, not any educated MMA fans anyway. The guys is that damn good!!!

That first gif is awesome. Throwing down the punch and then countering with his own.

Machida is a very technical and slick fighter. He has a game plan based around that and he uses it. Seeing as we are more so educated that most we can see that and appreciate it.

What I do not appreciate though are your one liners that you try to throw into the fighter topics. In no way are they having a positive affect on the topic. If you disagree that's fine, but to come in and use the above mentioned comment? All that does it make it look like you want to start a flame and be a troll.

oh boy you are way too sensitive. Please we don't need another watchdog group person here. "Oh no, not another hatemonger!" We got plenty of them in our terrible government. From this one line your not gonna know whether I agree with this love fest or not, are you?
However if your not that lazy you might wanna check out my other posts about him.

Still really gutted that his fight with Thiago Silva isn't happening at the upcoming UFC event in England and hopefully hey will get him to fight on an upcoming card very soon. Would love to see a fight with Thiago Silva as both men are awesome fighters but as I am a big fan of both men and wouldn't know to route for I would rather see him fight other big name fighters...a rematch with Franklin would have been good.
Who would be a good fight for him???
