UFC 84 Preview: Lyoto Machida

by Nick Thomas on Apr 30, 2008 9:26 AM EDT Comment 2 comments

I adapted my karate for MMA. I know I have good timing in fighting. I have good distancing.

I think that Tito, he doesn't have good distancing. He presses a lot. But for me, this is good. I can use my escaping, my technique, my punching, my kicking. I can put him in my distancing. I can put him in my timing. This is great for me.

Re: Quote of the Day

He also mentioned punching and kicking. I don't recall Starnes doing much of that.
