Lyoto is the master and no attitude from this guy!!! Just a great person and athlete!!!! God Bless Lyoto!

[MasterEBeats]

Lyoto is awesome... humble, but a great and exciting fighter!!

[tonytr]

You oughta watch Machida's fights with Rashad Evans, Randy Couture, and Thiago Silva. All three were pretty spectacular knockouts.

[TheACDCROKR]

That was a sick ko, bader didn't even touch him, thought it was gonna be ko of the night, glad swick got it tho, his ko was pretty awesome too, and he deserves the bonus

[MrEallday]

I would love to be trained by Machida or train in the same gym as him. this guy is a legend

[arjunpatellioni]

"I dont give doubt, not this time"

Bad ass!

[waywardson]

Wow Lyoto had a very cerebral response when explaining how he noticed Bader charges every time he switched stances...so when he changed stance the final time WHAM!

[chubstar]

Did you guys not watch til the end? Dana White said to Joe Rogan in the interview at the end of the broadcast that Machida would get to fighter for the title against the winner of Hendo vs Jones...

I'm fairly new to UFC (been watching for about a year now) and that was only the second time I've seen Machida (first was against Jones) and I was very impressed. Great counter-punching and it's cool to see such a unique and awkward style from a fighter.

[nrsolja]

Love how ariel asked him at the end if he thinks they're going to give him jones next as if jones already beat henderson

[lucdowney]

i agree about tito, but i really do think lyoto's back now. he put up the best fight against jon jones up until today and i think has the best shot at winning

[RajmanGamingHD]

Tito was back when he finished Bader much quicker...but in reality he was never back, same with Machida...he has nothing for Jones.

[ICEKOLD]

99% of the guys in the UFC are not fighters, they are entertainers. There are only few that are true martial artist and fighters

[jvrdlc]

so Lyoto knew that Bader was coming in once he ws on a diff stance.. smart guy
the dragon is back

[cristowwal]

Machida's english is really improving.

[rugerREL]

for a new fan your already on a good path

[vanlee]

Machida most definitely deserves the next title shot and IMO if he trains real hard and is 100 healthy and confident I see him besting and defeating bones Jones in a very contested fight. War Machida! In the mean time its going to take a while for them to fight since Jbj is set to fight Hendo, Lyoto should fight Shogun for the rubber match and see who's better make it happen Joe Silva!

[Alchemistic]

Yeah I agree, I think a Machida vs Shogun 3 would be better.

[lukeism]

segal will be interviewed.. he'll take credit for this knockout

[MisterTownsend]

actually Machida said he was learning english. So that's what TheRuhel501 was referencing.

[FrontKickReview]

Same here, but a Hendo fight sounds pretty good.
