Video: Two guys kick the s--t out of Lyoto Machida

Remember when Luke Rockhold kicked Constantinos Philippou in the stomach and "Costas" folded like a dinner napkin?

Lyoto Machida is ready for said kick.

Not by doing that Houdini thing and holding his breath, but rather by conditioning his bread basket in the most violent way possible: Letting two grown men strap on leg pads and kick him 23 times, right in the gut. Unfortunately, I watched it on a full stomach and now feel a bit queasy.

Certainly makes this story more believable.

Machida will go head-to-head with Rockhold in the UFC on FOX 15 mixed martial arts (MMA) main event inside the Prudential Center in Newark, New Jersey, on Sat., April 18, 2015. The winner is expected to get the next crack at the 185-pound title, soon to be contested here.

Who gets it done on fight night?
