Oh my God I still cant belive this the formula to beat Machida is simple anybody who has seriouly trained kickboxing would be able to figure this out LOW KICKS jab cross low kick jab cross inside low kick his wide stance makes him vunrible to the most underutilised strike in the book after two rounds of relentlis mixed up low kicks his mobility would be gone thus he would be easly taken down or KOed due to the fact the damage would make him unable to run A powerful yet techniqle Kickboxer with good wrestling is all that is needed to beat him NO Brawling NO just trying to take him down you just need to take away his best tools his legs then his footwork and everything he has will suffer Evans dose not have the tools to pull this off so I have Machida taking this fight
