Q: Which of Machida’s fight impressed you the most?
A: I don’t know. Actually, there aren’t any of his fights I really like. Lyoto’s a fighter who runs more than he fights. He’s not a fighter who will knock me out easily. He scores points, and I’ll make it hard for him to score. I already faced the toughest fighters. I believe it will be more of a psychological fight than a physical fight for me.
Q: Which fighters have you faced that you believe are tougher than Machida?
A: Houston Alexander, Tomasz Drwal, James Irvin. Actually, I’ve only faced tough fighters in the UFC -- just like Lyoto -- who already defeated many top fighters. I’m on my way to the title. I want this belt, and it will be mine

ibk—- who knows right? There’s always a chance. But yeah you’re kinda crazy.
Who knows, but seriously, Houston “I haven’t won a fight since 2007” Alexander is a tougher opponent than Machida? That came out of his mouth?
Third, his plan is to attack all the time and he favors the “crazy dog” who never backs down style.
This guy is tailor made to get fucked up by Machida in highlight reel style. I guess White does like him.
couldn’t agree more.
I can just see Machida’s response….“Come into my parlour said the spider to the fly”
Actually my fear is that Thiago is trying to set up Machida and instead of charging forward he’ll be trying to counterfight too.
Nah….
Yeah… can’t wait for UFC 94
- Georges St. Pierre vs. B.J. Penn
- Lyoto Machida vs. Thiago Silva
- Jon Fitch vs. Akihiro Gono
- Karo Parisyan vs. Dong Hyun Kim
- Nathan Diaz vs. Clay Guida
Assuming Karo shows up, that card is stacked.

Matt Brown is also far stronger than Karo. Matt Brown wasn’t beating Kim with better technique, he just overpowered him. Don’t assume that Karo would be able to overpower Kim so easily. It should be a great fight.
I have heard Karo is sick strong and presents the knd of stength you don’t realize just by looking at him. I doubt Matt Brown is strongerst han Karo.

Damn!
Way to hype the fight. Machida won’t be able to do to Thiago what he did to Tito. This should be a slobberknocker.

WOW..
He already faced the toughest fighters? hahaha.
..now im actually sure he gets KOed bad. He’s the only guy out there who’s dumb enough to grossly underestimate machida. He’ll even the champ thinks a machida fight would be tough. But this guy says that james irvin and houston is tougher than machida? maaaaaaaaan you are smarttttt.

Thiago Silva is in for a rude awakening.

He almost got knocked out by Mendes
And then doesn’t even mention him over guys like Irvin who blew out his knee in the first round. Total theatrics from Silva. I hope Machida embarrasses him.
When the time comes I will be putting $300 BE on Silva. I put my metaphorical money where my mouth is.
Q: How do you plan to beat Machida?
A: My plan is to attack him all the time.
Say goodbye to your undefeated record Thiago
Is there any fighter who ever says ’I’m not going to apply that much pressure, I’ll just kind of dodge him and pick my spots and hopefully get a decision’? This has Leben-Silva written all over it if he’s serious.
