Whatever Lyoto’s doing, he’s doing right. He puts the artist in martial artist and NO ONE is taking him down anytime soon at LHW (even Anderson Silva).

One more big win and he is on the P4P list with Fedor, GSP, and AS.

What is this stupidity about???!?!?

If he doesn’t keep his periodization in check, he might not make weight for his next fight.

try like 30 and 0 then he up there with FEDOR

I think lyoto could whoop fedor and I also think a.silva could beat lyoto and fedor to if gsp could bigger in a year or to he to could beat fedor this is just my opion but its mma anything could happend
Its not like boxing where u get 40 or 50 boxer that go 20-0 before losing

u think GSP could beat Fedor….have you lost ur mind!?

Rest is very important and often overlooked for fighters, if you train hard for weeks then take a week off you’ll find you feel much stronger after that rest – many MMA fighters seem to overtrain and cut too much weight, I think much of the time they end up going into fights at 75%. The more successful guys you’ll notice aren’t the ones who are absolutely ripped (bar GSP!) – Fedor, Silva, Machida, Penn all seem to get by just fine without being built like the Hulk!

I said that his name was up there with Fedor, not ahead of him.

But Lyoto is a complete fighter and deserving of being ranked with the very best in the game.

If Fedor can win a few more big fight, there may be no one who can challenge his career success other than Lyoto. Anderson’s lost several times. GSP twice.

No one has legitimately beaten Fedor, however, he does need at least two more names after Barnett (and the UFC belt) on his resume—Lesnar/Mir and one of the young guns Cain/Carwin (not so young, I know)— before he can walk away from the sport as a forever untouchable legend.

Then, really, only Loyoto going undefeated for his next 15-20 fights can compete with his career achievement.

I’m a huge fan of Fedor, but a little worried that he may drop one of his next couple of fights, though I really hope not.

The body is a science. Giving it what it need when it neededs it is a must and something most MMAers do. This is some nest level shit. They know where lyoto is with his body at any min of the day. Cole said is “Universal Soldier”

Although now that Machida is the UFC Champ his level of competition will be consistently high, so he may not have to win 15 to match Fedor, more like 10 (but that would be 10 #1 contenders).

Fedor has 5 big HW names on his resume: Nog, Cro Cop, Coleman, Silvia, Arlovski.

Lyoto has 3 big LHW names on his: Rashad, Tito, Franklin.

I’d take Machida over Fedor anyday!

It should read:
“But we still have too much to work on”

sounds like machida should be in a scientist lab after wat his trainer was saying

Lyoto vs. Fwank Twigg! Make it happen!

Coleman is a former UFC Champ. When he fought Fedor, he was still a legit HW.

I didn’t mention Penn, because he is not a LHW. I don’t consider that fight a feather in Machida’s cap, more so Penn’s since he kept that fight amazingly close for fighting several classes above his natural weight. But yes, Bj will always be mentioned in general W’s that Lyoto has.

Incidentally, no one has hit Machida with a power punch since BJ Penn.

Its all about the brazilian lemonade that shit does wonders!! anyone for a hot foamy glass??

First gsp chin is in suspect? He got hit 15 times by serra before he tapped out. If that is a weak chin then everyone in mma has a suspect chin. All the pfp best fighter in the world Speculation is so stupid. U cant measure a fighter by who he beat and who he lost to. Or try to measure there skill against another pfp top fighter. Yea u can say oh that guy lost twice so he worser then that guy because he never lost. In the end it is a bunch of pointless speculation. There only one way to find out and thats to put them in the cage against eachother. Which is doable in most cases. Which happen recently penn vs gsp i know there was a weight difference but alot of fighter in the hw division deal with that every fight. Gsp vs silva is possible. Silva vs fedor, Machida vs fedor and maybe prolly not machida vs silva. Gsp if he beats alves is pretty much done with the division so a superfight should be next. Silva is pretty much done with division to so a superfight. Machida still has to prove himself. Fedor after barnett i wouldnt say he done with division but the guy deserve a superfight. So if fedor beats machida or silva then without any argument he is the best in the world. This is my ideal situation. Fedor beats barnett then goes to ufc and gets hw title. Machida beats shogun and rampage. Gsp beats alves, Silva beats griffin then there is two superfights. Machida vs fedor and gsp vs silva But thats a bunch of ifs pray to the mma gods that it will happen.

Machida is not a big LHW so it would be very hard to imagine him fighting Fedor. He still has a bunch of fights in front of him at LHW and then maybe a superfight with Anderson.

I don’t think Fedor will be around for more than another couple years. If he keeps winning it will be statue time for him for him soon.

La cheetah will be KTFO by Page..

Yah a.silva and gsp have lost so has fedor but lets see machida attack and not counter attack against rua or rampage and see what the results will be

what a freak

all you guys can drink my piss

Machida is definitely one of the greats, a fight between him and anderson silva would be unreal.

Dave “I’d call his destruction of Sylvia similar to Machida’s destruction of Rashad.” WTF are you serious????

Sylvia’s record is way short of rashads at this time, he has never been dominant and he towers above almost all, rashad is far from that and infact won a heavyweight TUF. That comment is way off!!! Machida’s achievment is way better than fedor beating sylvia…..WAY WAY better!!!!!

For me Machida is prob the best although he has done the least to prove it, A. Silva next then Fedor, for the simple reason he isnt fighting the creme de la creme!! FACT!! If he comes to the UFC and beats the likes of Lesnar, Cain, Kongo, Carwin, Gonzaga….then yes but until that day, hes fighting weaker opposition!!!

Also for me Cro Cop is a lightheavy weight not a heavy, nog is tough but not world class like the others mentioned, although his gound game is nice!!

Kongo to be future champ!!!!

are they measuring his urine levels in his blood?

yes, he’s that damn good : simple !

FACE IT— Machida’s success is because he has been training every day of his life for the past 25 years and has, therefore, logged thousands of more hours of training and sparring than all of his opponents. Sorry, but a guy who wrestled in school for four years, seasonally, and later in life took “mma” classes at a strip mall mcdojo that works “grappling” 2 days per week for an hour, “stand up” (WTF is “standup”?)2 days per week, and spends time with 14 oz gloves on using techniques that utilize the size of the glove and then fights in a cage with tiny gloves which are much different, and trains with a sparring partner who also has no real training, will GET HIT by the punches of a skilled puncher who logged thousands of hours of sparring and focusing on one skill set (Machida and certain REAL boxers/kick boxers). Most of these other guys train wrong, even so called pros in UFC. And the nutrition and training equipment trends are trends designed to take money from people looking for a shortcut to real training. Do 50 pullups, 200 pushups, deadlift twice your weight, clean and press your bodyweight, jump rope for 20-30 minutes, and AFTER that, if you still feel like it, do your trendy crap. Advice for young fighters…instead of focusing on being average at a bunch of things, you need to be great at one thing, and trendy supplements and routines are wasteful. Spar as often as possible with skilled fighter from ohter styles and clubs. It doesn’t matter what art…Hughes beat over 99% of the population with wrestling, Machida with karate, Silva with Muay Thai. Yes, they cross train to a degree, but each is GREAT in at least one thing that they use most of the time. They put it more time than anyone else at their main craft. No secret, just hard work.

I heard Machida is doing a “Got Piss” ad. I think a yellow mustasche ad in all the magazines would be great for him.

if i drink his piss, can i beat rashad too??
