He doesn't engage enough. It's smart but has a terrible entertainment value for mma fights. I'm on the fence about him because I prefer fighters who go for the kill instead of decisions everytime. He's methodical but unfortunately he's also the remedy to insomnia for many fans. btw, does anyone have a link for the dong kim and yoshida fight? I can't find it anywhere. lol@ your machida comment because that’s why he’s known as a ‘boring’ fighter. He doesn’t engage enough. It’s smart but has a terrible entertainment value for mma fights.

Someone mentioned that it looked like Machida almost went the whole three rounds without getting hit, which I must say is pretty impressive. Does anyone else here watch Sumo? It reminds me of Wakanohana and how they didn't want to make him a yokozuna because he rarely pushed forward. I kind of feel the same way about Machida. He definitely showed some skill, but it would have been nice to see him try to end the fight. Yes, everyone else seemed to like the Machida fight.

BJ was bad ass for sure. He put the beating on Sherk. After the fight, Sherk looked like he got his ass whooped in a bar while BJ looked like he just came back from 15 mins of aerobic workout with little sweat. This kid gonna make some noise for sure. Overall, it was pretty good. Machida definitely beat Ortiz and I think Tito's days of dominating MMA is over. I saw the fight. BJ was bad ass for sure. He put the beating on Sherk.

Definitely looking forward to his (please let it happen, please please please) rematch with GSP (maybe he'll hold two titles at once!). Great night for Asian fighters. Kim Dong-hyun was impressive in his debut. Yoshida won in under a minute with an anaconda choke. Then Machida and Penn with big wins over top competitors. The only Asian fighter to lose was Nakamura but he never had a chance against a very motivated Sokoudjou (win or get dropped down to the undercard). Great card overall and a fantastic main event. I thought even Machida-Ortiz was entertaining. Ortiz with his typical antics and venting of frustration were a classic display of his old self. Machida's technical expertise was incredible and his takedown defense showed some odd influences. There were a couple of times when he frustrated Ortiz using a classic Sumo hip move to knock him off balance. Great, what other light-heavyweight uses Sumo?! Machida has been training Sumo since the age of twelve and was the 2005 Brazilian Sumo light-heavyweight champ.
