Looking Ahead Through the Past: Lyoto Machida's Round 1 Performance at UFC 84

Mauricio "Shogun" Rua has his work cut out for him at UFC 104. He'll have to do something no other fighter has been able to do with any regularity: land strikes on Lyoto Machida. According to FightMetric, opponents have only landed 0.64 strikes per minute against the Brazilian (as of January '09). The only man better? Fedor Emelianenko.
The best example of Machida's ability to avoid damage came during the first round of his fight with Tito Ortiz at UFC 84. Ortiz threw his entire arsenal at Machida - right hooks, head kicks, double legs - only to find himself staring at an empty section of fence.
By the end of the round, Ortiz could no longer hide the frustration from his face. Machida completely shut him down, and added insult to injury when he put Ortiz on his back with ten seconds left before the bell. While Ortiz began to land with some consistency as the contest wore on (Machida reportedly entered the cage with the flu) and locked on a surprise armbar in the fight's final moments, he never looked comfortable at any stage.
The numbers from the first round highlight the dominance. Machida landed 23 of 34 strikes (8 power shots) and was successful on his only takedown attempt. Ortiz, meanwhile, couldn't find a target for all 18 of his strikes and got stuffed in both of his takedown attempts.
This is the problem Shogun inherits on October 24th. How do you hit what isn't there?

Shogun Falls To Machida Fairly Weakly? That’s the way I see it too.

You guys (as usual) are mostly right. He tried to transition to an armbar when the triangle doesn’t tap him. I was thinking of the famous picture from the fight.

It looks like Machidas influence to MMA may get close to Royce Gracies…
We now have Vitor and Anderson incorporating Karate principles. and in both cases their opponents have looked helpless… just like when Royce would take his opponents to the ground.
At one point Franklin was calling out to his coach as he looked confused with Vitors distance and stance.
Is this type of Karate the new Brazilian JJ? Do you now need to know and implement these kinds of karate principles/techniques to remain relevant in MMA?
nonsense
he hasn’t stated it (to my knowledge), and unless someone can quote him on this there is no reason to believe that he is. He has always been a counter striker and is still a counter striker… Just because he doesn’t get hit that much doesn’t mean he incorporated Karate into his training.
SHOGUN WILL SLAIN THE DRAGON!!!
You are correct. He couldn’t hear them. Logic is just spouting nonsense.
And Vitor/Anderson could end up a really boring fight. Anderson doesn’t like to engage at MW anymore and Vitor is trying this karate. Look at how dull the first few minutes of the Franklin fight were.
Every time someone says how boring a fight is going to be I say “Pffffft” and point out all the people who said the same thing before the Machida-Evans fight.
Walla walla walla I'm an idiot.
by ufc4 on Sep 29, 2009 7:54 PM EDT via mobile up reply actions
You realize they didn’t throw a strike for like the first 2-3 minutes right? PLus Anderson has said at MW now that he’s older and champ he doesn’t take risks.
so you’re saying that fight was boring because they didn’t throw any leather for 2 minutes?
SHOGUN WILL SLAIN THE DRAGON!!!
No I am saying periods of no action isn’t very entertaining. They didn’t even attempt a strike it was mostly feint, watch feint.
I don’t see anything wrong with “feeling out” your opponent to try to learn their rythm. Anderson and Machida usually starts slow, but that’s just their process to give us better fights (that’s the way I look at it anyhow hehe).
SHOGUN WILL SLAIN THE DRAGON!!!
I actually love the anticipation. You just know it’s going to happen and you don’ t know when. So you sit there waiting wondering what it’s going to be like. Machida vs Rashad was like the sweet spot for MMA for me.

Thing is I enjoy Machida’s style a lot and defended it versus the legions of people calling him boring beforee he ko’d Thiago. The thing is people act like his style is impervious and he won’t ever lose. Shogun is well rounded enough to beat Machida and these bandwagoners act like he doesn’t. They’ll be the same ones saying he was overrated when he loses
Shogun can’t hang with Lyoto standing and he doesn’t have good enough wrestling to try and play top game.

Shogun has the ability and skills to cut the ring off on Lyoto…this would force Lyoto to become the aggressor and even into the cage where Shogun could use his thai clinch…could create a WAR that we havent seen Lyoto forced into yet
I don’t think Shogun’s footwork is nearly good enough to do that to Machida.
Twitter: @Mike_Fagan_13
http://www.sackmikegoldberg.com
I still think that Machida would keep himself out of trouble, but I agree. Shogun’s go-forward aggression would have a much better shot of trapping Machida in a square corner than in the rather formless shape of the Octagon.
Twitter: @Mike_Fagan_13
http://www.sackmikegoldberg.com
you ever think Machida’s like a Chuck 2.0 I mean chuck was like this phenomenal unorthodox counter striker but he was using his punches in the way Machida uses his kicks, maybe after 7 title defenses someone will get Machida’s number.
that's what i wanted to know from him also..
Lyoto is dominant and like chuck, he always comes in with a same game plan, and they are both good at making people fight their kind of fight. I want to know if Lyoto is worried that people will someday figure out how to beat his unique style.
I hope i find out soon.

I think Shogun has the best chance right now...
It’s going to take great timing, footspeed, and unpredictibiility, which at his best, Shogun has plenty of…but I still think he’s going down hard. Machida hasn’t reached his peak yet IMO. It’s only this year that he started a serious strength and conditioning program, and finally was able to take his father’s advice to finish people quickly. I wish they’d had time to get Shogun another good fight before this one. Hopefully the countdown show does a good job of filling people in on who he is and his past accomplishments. But as much of a Shogun fan as I am, I’m hopelessly devoted to Lyoto…:-)

Who would you have had Shogun fight instead?
Twitter: @Mike_Fagan_13
http://www.sackmikegoldberg.com
Oh I agree with ya
If there was a good answer to that, the UFC probably would’ve gone another way. I just didn’t feel like the Coleman and Liddell fights were anywhere close to convincing me that Shogun could beat Lyoto, or that he was back to Grand Prix form. Plus, this is not Pride obviously. It’s more that I don’t see anyone else at LHW having a chance in hell.
by Kwisatz Haderach on Sep 29, 2009 8:59 PM EDT up reply actions
shogun was the face of the UFC game demo so people have gotten to know him real well.
I think the “rampage under juanito” has the best chance in the division…
The only guy who I would say has an even chance against Machida is Anderson Silva.
I agree that juanito
had Rampage fighting at a peak he hasn’t seen since.
Follow me on Twitter @KidNate
That’s a good point… when its a big fight the lull in action increases the already built up tension… the problem is if its stays that way without any closure.
Its called “BLUE BALLS”.
Yeah, there are similarities, but lately it’s been orgasmic…
by Kwisatz Haderach on Sep 29, 2009 8:34 PM EDT up reply actions
I still think Vitor vs Anderson fight could potentially be very boring…
If something doesnt go Andersons way (hendo hand fucking him for a round) he comes out and kicks ass… I dont know about Vitor. The old Vitor would have just tried to survive from that round on.
Anderson most probably make him pay more than once so if belfort retreats into “survival mode” and Silva decides to just dance around again then it will be very boring.
agreed
I think they’re both leaning towards being counter-fighters and both have been studying Machida’s distance so we might see two guys at the extreme end of striking range waiting for the other guy to make a mistake.
I think Anderson’s reach advantage, his arsenal of kicks vs Vitor’s reliance on punches and Vitor’s mental weakness will be the difference. But Vitor is very very dangerous to anyone.
Follow me on Twitter @KidNate
I’m not sure if it’s the karate specifically. As Tonley mentioned, guys need to learn how to avoid getting hit. With the lack of protection from small gloves, you take a much bigger risk when you try to cover up instead of eluding strikes.

I can’t believe fedor has been hit less…. he was tagged harder and more times in the arlovski and hmc fights than lyotos whole ufc career.
by cagefightonacid on Sep 29, 2009 8:01 PM EDT via mobile reply actions
I watched the Fedor/AA fight again about a month ago. Fedor actually slipped a lot of the punches AA threw at him.
Yeah, even during my initial re-watch of it, Arlovski looked a lot less impressive than I initially thought.
Twitter: @Mike_Fagan_13
http://www.sackmikegoldberg.com
Exactly. AA looked better because Fedor was throwing his hands up while he parried for some reason so he looked hurt
I seem to remember Soko landing at least one big punch as well.
by Kwisatz Haderach on Sep 29, 2009 8:35 PM EDT up reply actions
rashad also hit him a few times, Lyoto was going forward and Rashad was able to counter with three great hooks. Had that been a hard hitter Machida could have been in trouble…
SHOGUN WILL SLAIN THE DRAGON!!!
Rashad is a hard hitter, the problem was he was doing it to get Machida off him as he was backing up from a Machida attack. Those hooks are a testimony of how tough Rashad is, he being able to throw hooks in the middle of taking damage, but they weren’t going to be hurting anyone no matter who threw them.
perhaps not three, but two definitely connected…

Rashad was able to counter with three great hooks. Had that been a hard hitter Machida could have been in trouble…
1. Those weren’t great hooks, they were quick, off balanced, arm punches..
2. Rashad IS a big hitter..
and 3. even if Rampage (who you consider a bigger hitter) threw those quick arm punches, Machida still wouldn’t be in trouble.. had that been a punch where his legs were set properly, and thrown with his weight, then yeah, maybe Lyoto would’ve been in trouble..
by Anton Tabuena on Sep 30, 2009 8:33 AM EDT up reply actions
I call them great hooks because he was able to connect while Machida was going forward and got Machida to back up and re-think his strategy. Rashad is a hard hitter, but he is a hard hitter when he means to inflict damage with his strategy (such as the Chuck fight), not during exchanges that got him going backwards. Rampage and Rashad are different fighters, have different stances and Rampage is able to capitalize in hooks (of my mind Chuck and Wandy). I’m not saying Rampage would beat Machida, but if Rampage were able to land hooks on Machida that would be more damaging to Machida than Rashad landing them. That was my only point.
SHOGUN WILL SLAY THE DRAGON!!!
SHOGUN TO BE THE NEW LHW CHAMP!!!
those hooks from Rampage to Wand/Chuck were different from the ones Evans landed on Machida.. That’s supposed to be obvious for tons of reasons..
by Anton Tabuena on Sep 30, 2009 8:52 AM EDT up reply actions
Rampage and Rashad are different fighters
my guess would be that this is the obvious :P
I think you are under the impression that I’m claiming Rampage would land those shots the exact same way Rashad landed them. That’s not what I’m saying. He would land them differently, for him and Rashad are different fighters.
SHOGUN WILL SLAY THE DRAGON!!!
SHOGUN TO BE THE NEW LHW CHAMP!!!
I thought your point was that a hard hitter would have damaged Machida, not that someone else would have thrown the hooks differently.
If it’s the former, then it doesn’t matter because anyone throwing those sort of hooks would have failed to damage Machida regardless of hitting prowess.
In the latter case, again it wouldn’t matter because you could just as easily say, what another poster pointed out that if Rashad had planted his feet or twists his hips, etc. those would have been more damaging, again, regardless of punching prowess.

The first one hit, the last one missed.
A man should never waste an opportunity to keep his mouth shut.
the second and third were the ones that connected clean, the first one was blocked by Machida…
SHOGUN WILL SLAY THE DRAGON!!!
SHOGUN TO BE THE NEW LHW CHAMP!!!
The first one hit enough to turn his head.
The second one hit him in the neck (this was the one I thought had missed, bad recollection on my part).
The third one he pulled his head out of the way.
Look at the reaction of his head for the first and third ones.
A man should never waste an opportunity to keep his mouth shut.
I don’t know
to me the first punch is the least clean because it seems it hit Machida’s forearm more than it did his head. The second shot looked like it landed on the side of his jaw and because Machida turned his head it slanted a little towards the ear. The third shot looked like it landed clean from Machida’s reaction (and I do remember the sound it made when it landed). But because Machida turned his head the camera angle is not the best.
SHOGUN WILL SLAY THE DRAGON!!!
SHOGUN TO BE THE NEW LHW CHAMP!!!
I looked at the exchange in slowmo.
The first punch was blocked.
The second punch bounced off the base of the neck.
The third punch barely glanced off the upper cheek.
No punch landed flush on Machida’s chin.
Rashad later landed a body kick, but only the forefoot connected and it hit just below the armpit.
In short, Machida received very little to no damage in that fight.

if none landed
why would Machida back up then? makes no sense…
SHOGUN WILL SLAY THE DRAGON!!!
SHOGUN TO BE THE NEW LHW CHAMP!!!
lol
I agree, but why reset if he’s not getting hit? Think how this fight ended, he was throwing leather and Rashad was not landing anything, therefore he continue to throw leather and Rashad went down. Above he was trying to do the same thing, except he wasn’t really landing anything and instead Rashad was, therefore he needed to back up and circle and reset.
SHOGUN WILL SLAY THE DRAGON!!!
SHOGUN TO BE THE NEW LHW CHAMP!!!
I didn’t say Machida wasn’t getting hit or that none of Rashad’s punches landed. It’s just that none of them landed flush on the chin.
But the fact that Machida was getting hit at all plus his poor posture at the time led him to reset.
by Flying Gogoplata on Sep 30, 2009 2:23 PM EDT up reply actions
To avoid the guy that’s lunging at him throwing hooks? I think he got hit, but they were hooks that were thrown in the middle of getting hit. Rampage as an example, almost always backs up or blocks when he’s in the middle of getting hit. I don’t see him suddenly start throwing in the middle of getting hit in the face very often. I could be wrong though.
watch the Wandy fight (3rd)
he blocks and then follows up with the hook, he doesn’t just keep blocking though.

I think this fight so favors Machida that it’s scary from a prognostication standpoint. Unlike someone like say… oh… Mike Bisping, Shogun has the ability to KO a fighter with a good chin. That makes him dangerous against a guy who currently seems to be invincible.

Man the first martial arts class I ever took was a krav maga class and this army guy in there would use a similar fighting style to Machida’s where he would pretty much force me to come after him and set and unleash some crazy kicks, I found that I could get him with good feints, side to side movement, level changing, and anticipating his footwork I mean Machida is obviously on a different level then that but does anyone else have any insight as to how to beat that guy.
good fucking wrestling
i still have a headache when i think about how rashad did no takedown attempts and did very little clinching. why the hell would you stand with someone when they take the least amount of damage in a fight and land the most strikes? why? hey i got a great idea, lets jitsu maia, or stand with anderson silva. i dont understand fighters at the highest levels trying to prove something over another fighter. i get the whole “hey look at me i can do this” but seriously, when does the win become ancillary to the fight.

They thought since countering chuck (who’s a counter fighter) worked so well why wouldnt it work against Machida?
Because Like I said before the fight… Chuck cant counter moving forward – Machida can. Not only that he can do it sideways, upside down, back words etc… His distance to his opponents no matter which direction the movements are is near flawless.
Fighting guys like Machida, Anderson and Vitor is like playing the game flinch… they get you so uncomfortable and anxious it fucks up your head.
Machida competes at a fairly high level in karate and trains with a variety of excellent strikers, so you can be sure he’s seen pretty much everything when it comes to striking.
That said, he’s still beatable at his own game. His brother Chinzo is better than him in karate and Lyoto is barely even considered a top karateka worldwide.
The trouble is, no active LHW fighter in MMA is clearly better than Lyoto in karate or even striking in general. Even the K-1 crossovers are no match. This is why MMA LHW’s do not beat Lyoto with striking at his current ability level.
by Flying Gogoplata on Sep 30, 2009 12:36 AM EDT up reply actions
Would this be in part due to him training for MMA and not just Karate?
If he focused purely on Karate do you think he has the potential to be a top practicioner?
