Rutten: Machida doesn't have a lot of weapons

Rutten: Machida doesn't have a lot of weapons - Mixed Martial Arts News

Quote:

Lyoto Machida (18-3) holds wins over Rashad Evans, Randy Couture and Rich Franklin. Not bad for a guy who 'doesn't have a lot of weapons.'

"Dan is the man's man. Like any guy on the planet, they love Dan because he's got a lot of heart and he always comes to fight. I always get emotional because he's really that guy. That's why I want to see him win and I think he has that chance because he knows when he lands that 'H-bomb,' it's goodnight.

I'm gonna get a lot of heat now. Machida doesn't have a lot of weapons. Whatever he does, he does really well. He's got great distance, great accuracy, but his attack is always the same. It's a cross, or a kick and a cross. When you push him, he always moves to the same side. So, if Dan would look at that and just bullrush him, he could throw a big hand there and that could stop him."

I'll have to rewatch and check, but I never doubt Rutten.

Yup and Chucks uppercut almost landed on Rashad. Dans lucky this is not 5 rounds . Hes got a small chance at catching Machida. I see the Dragon pulling out the W 8 out of 10 times. And thisis my first post so I can def be called a noob. Ive been visiting this site for the past couple years. Also attending ufc 157 in anaheim :)

^That dude's rep? Now that's hilarious.

I like Bas, but hopefully this being taken out of context. However, as a Machida fan, I do think Lyoto lacks some skills, e.g. Bjj. Yeah, I know he's supposedly a blackbelt in jj, but he's looked horrible the few times that he's been on his back.

I'm gonna agree with the manly man that called my favorite fighter a manly man, even if I don't necessarily agree with him.

Bas justa swinging from those nuts! Machida is a top LHW, no ifs about it. And the dude has just as many tools if not more than alot of great LHWs in Chuck/Wandy/Rampage etc.

Bas knows this.

That happens all the time.... can't really discredit the guy who landed his counter quicker especially in this case where he was clearly baiting Bader into taking a chance like he did.
