I can almost envision some of these fighters shedding tears at night after they brush there teeth and get ready for bed time.

LOL. Nice visual, getting all teary-eyed with their stuffed animals.

Same old story, guy fights, guy loses, guy says he has no respect for the man who beat him. Cry me a river.

Its like Ortiz syndrome is going pandemic.

Oh so true and well said! Rep'd!

whats funny is how stuff is always lost in translation, and as someone else already pointed out tough guys acting like girls

[Severn]

Unless I misunderstood correctly he seems to be dissing kung fu and not where he's from. I see it as a pro Karate thing. It could easily be taken the wrong way.

in regards to what? i could see something being lost in translation with what okami said, but when machida made his comment, he had a translator standing beside him...im not trying to nit pick, i just want to know what/who you are referring to when you say "lost in translation."

[valheruking]

I don't even see the big deal about the comment, as Severn said, Machida said Soko should have trained Karate when he was training in the jungle, or something to that effect, it's a pro Karate thing, and certainly nothing racist cause Soko is he one that uses the whole jungle fighter image thing.

Machida was just kinda throwing it back at him by saying maybe you should have learned some Karate in the jungle, pretty harmless (and funny) if you ask me.

If their remarks/jokes can offend other ppl's feelings? Both of them are not O.k. But imagine if Dana is the one who said that he should learning Karate in the jungle and he said that to Soko, MMA News Boards would probably Explode b/c there's no way he'd get away with it and he would be looking for a new Job.

just how slang or certain words can be misconstrued by people speaking a different language (sometimes not even necessarily diff. language, just different areas/ages/background)

like if I were to say "Machida is fucking dirty" someone may think I believe he is un-hygenic, someone else may think I believe he breaks the rules, when in reality I am saying he is an awesome fighter

in other words, "lost in translation" is simply mis-understood

IMO Machida was just trying to say Karate > Everything else (like he has said before)

[foundstarr]

Machida also said he was the assasin killer, I thought that was funny.
