Got some more interesting statistics for you guys:

    (This chart shows the) number of takedowns landed divided by the number attempted. This is a simple ratio of an opponents’ takedown success rate.

    Georges St. Pierre: 15%
    BJ Penn: 36%
    Rashad Evans: 38%
    Anderson Silva: 41%
    Machida: 19.5%

    Machida’s Opponents have landed just 8 of 41 career takedown attempts against Machida, a success rate of just 19.5%. That is not much worse than St. Pierre, whose takedown defense is perhaps the best in MMA history. And it’s actually better than Fedor’s number, which stands a

Machida has NEVER been knocked down in a fight AND he’s only lost one round on one judge’s score card in his career:

    The 10-point must system produces nine measurements for each fight that goes to a decision (three rounds each for three judges). So in five decisions, there have been 45 measured rounds upon which judges have given their verdict.

    Machida’s record on that scale is 44-1. In all of his UFC fights (and assuming a win in the first round against Sokoudjou), Machida has not lost a single round on a single judge’s scorecard. He has only won by scores of 30-27. You have to go back more than two years to find a round in which a judge said he lost. In his WFA fight against Vernon White

Did anyone notice Karo making the sign of the cross before stepping on the scale at the weigh ins? LMFAO, LOL. HAHAHAHA Heheheheh! He knows he is fat and under trained! HIs head is a mess right now! Karo = Paulo Filho= Head cases!

Stun Gun dominated Matt Brown in the 1st round, then gassed and brown made a fight out of it! This tells me that stun Gun will come into this fight in much better shape then previous bouts. This means, Karo’s fat, out of shape, ass is in for a long night! Stun Gun will win this fight!

Karo “The PANIC” Parysian! lmfao

lol… slow news day? this is pretty obscure…

What up PW? Do you second my nomination for a new nickname for Karo?

thats a pretty good one, did you put any money on stun gun? i got him when he was at +250 so hopefully i will get some money on him. I really would love a knock out.

I like gsp but i bet if you looked harder at when BJ was actually taken down, it would be in the later rounds when he was gassed, so his number is a little skewed.

I also feel like to the mainstream Machida needs stop a fighter to be come a legit fighter

Agree john! As far as Machida – i don’t think the statistics paint the whole picture about the quality of takedowns he was defending. I don’t see any dynamic wrestlers on his ledger. Also clinch takedowns are the way to go with him, shooting from far on a counterfighter especially one as elusive as him just sounds retarded to me.
