LYOTO MACHIDA vs RASHAD EVANS aftermath!
The internets now <3 Mr. Dragon
Shotokan Karate instructors around the world rose up to cheer for more prospective students *cough* I mean, Machida's stunning KO victory.

Machida's next opponents? Is he unbeatable?

Has Lyoto Machida turned into Anderson Silva??

The card was great!!! Because of Machida. Now, repeat after me and say "Xavier Foupa-Pokam" (who got KO'd by McFedries) a ten times without stuttering.

Tha Machida Puzzle Box
http://www.sherdog.com/news/articles/1/t...-box-17612
Why it's interesting?
Quote:But because MMA is MMA, he’ll (Machida) be defeated. Soon. Not too soon -- not against Quinton Jackson, who will stubbornly stand up with him -- but soon enough.
Possibility one: Evans in a rematch. Forget trying to pick off Machida on the feet. It’s not happening until he gets older and slower. Close in, get his feet over his head and stack him against the fence. Punch until done.
Possibility two: Randy Couture. Laugh all you want, but if Couture gets inside, Machida is going for a ride. Couture’s retirement fight if he fails in another heavyweight title bid, but only if Machida agrees to do it at heavyweight. (Guy’s gonna be 46 soon. Cut him some slack.)

4 second KO from a few years back. Kid Yamamoto with a flying knee.

BloodyElbow should change their name to Bloody Machida-do Elbow.
To summarize:
Here's a post that leads to no less than 11 Machida articles the day after the Evans fight
http://www.bloodyelbow.com/2009/5/26/886...-up-ufc-98
And then there are the articles that came after:
Like this one where the author worries that the UFC will have stalled divisions because the champions are just too good (GSP/Machida/Silva).
http://www.bloodyelbow.com/2009/5/26/887...-divisions
On Machida being the 2nd Coming of the Gracie BJJ effect
http://www.bloodyelbow.com/2009/5/27/889...the-second
A review of Machida's new DVD! Anyone who can post a torrent link for the avi and not iso version gets a cookie 
http://www.bloodyelbow.com/2009/5/27/890...-machida-a
On the mental aspects of MMA, with words by Machida's dad
http://www.bloodyelbow.com/2009/5/27/890...cts-of-mma
On why there aren't more shotokan karate practitioners
http://www.bloodyelbow.com/2009/5/27/890...n-shotokan
I'm putting these up for my own reference, but the articles themselves are good. HELP ME LOOK FOR A non-iso TORRENT of the Machida DVDs!

Lyoto is too good for everyone at his divison at the moment. He is also already good even before this fight.
he is just havent given a chance to reveal his potential up until now.
and rampage will be next right?, i reckon he will be very dangerous in terms of grappling and boxing due to his strength although i wonder how will he be able to keep up with machida's elusiveness.
and i hope MMA fans would soon appreciate Lyoto's elusive fighting style, instead of just hoping to watch a brawl.

The Rampage fight is off for now, he's coaching TUF against Evans. The coaches fight is a given on the finale, supposedly on Dec. 5. Show starts Sept. 16 according to the y!sports article. Machida says he'll probably fight next on UFC 103.

QFT
Machida vs Rua agreed on in principle. Most likely @ UFC 104, on Oct. 24

Great KO from Bellator (another MMA promotion), just the other day. Notice the flying mouthpiece.

A few months old, but here are some poignant Words of Wisdom c/o Phil Baroni, the New York Badass
From this interview.
NS: Are you a nerd at heart, like play video games or read comics?
PB: Fuck no. I hate that shit with a passion. I think it’s gay as fuck and a waste of time.
NS: Do you have any advice for the nerds on how to get girls?
PB: Do steroids, lift heavy weights, get contacts, go tanning. And stop playing all those gay fucking video games. You can’t get pussy in front of a TV playing games with your geeky friends. Go out to night clubs and bars, hit the beach. If you got money, floss. Whatever you do, don’t be yourself.
...And he follows it up in this interview! 
CP: But you did tell NerdSociety.com a couple months back that to get girls, nerdy guys should do steroids, lift weights, get contacts, go tanning, and stop playing all those gay fucking video games. Do you stand by that advice?
PB: Yeah. Those fuckin’ nerds playing video games aren’t gonna be fighting in the UFC, so it doesn’t matter if they do steroids, because they’re not cheating anyone. They’re cheating themselves by being fuckin’ computer geeks, playing fuckin’ videos games all the time. They’re cheating themselves out of life. Maybe a little testosterone would help them, they’re obviously fuckin’ low on it naturally. I’m not advocating it to kids, I’m advocating it to geeks. You’re 20 years old and you’re still playing fuckin’ video games and going on Internet forums, you gotta change something, dude. Something’s gotta fuckin’ give.
This is ideal image which he wants for nerds

That him in the pic?
If he is, then, I'll say no more.
EDIT: Just checked, he isn't. That doesn't make that example above any less GAYer.

LOL that's it. Let's just close down RR right now and follow this dude's advice, lest we all become gay.
