Machida, I found the path?!?

If you found the path to beat Bones then why did you get put to sleep? One would think with a statement like that, in a past tense context, you won. I like both guys, but to make a statement like that, really lol Phone Post

You learn from your losses and mistakes.

I hate Bones. That is all. Phone Post

You hate Jones because your an absolute idiot. Phone Post

I feel bad for Machida if he believes this. Jones can take him down at will and murder him. I really think if Dana said to Jones behind the scenes, if you finish Machida in 1 minute I will double your payout.....that Jones would be twice as rich after the event

The first round was the most competitive round since Bones has started dominating the world of MMA (the Jake O'Brien fight) so he might be on to something Phone Post

In interview he basically said he found the path to beat Jones and the next guy can take advantage of it.

I thought he was doing well - for a while it looked like Jones doesn't do as well when the pressure is put on him and hes forced fight on the back leg.

Because Machida's enlightenment to finding the path didn't come to him until he was dreaming face down on the mat.

It's amazing that a guy lands one punch on Jones that doesn't even hurt him and everyone say "OMG Machida figured him out!"

That's how good Jones is. If landing one punch that doesn't even hurt him is the "path" to beat Jones, the guy will never really lose.

Calling someone an absolute idiot does not work when you can't even use the proper grammar > you're

if big dan connects... could be a tough night for jones.

And you don't know how to spell,

You're and absolute idiot.

It's not at all absurd for Machida to claim he found the path to beating Jones. All he means by it is that he's the first guy to actually do any damage to him. Any fighter going against Jones would be wise to watch and rewatch that first round.

The problem is, nobody is going to out Machida Machida. If Machida could not win that fight using his own style, nobody else will. Rashad Evans and Dan Henderson will not be nearly as "evasive" as Lyoto. They'll best stick to their own styles and hope it works.

If Rash wins, it will be with his transitions from strikes to wrestling and with his power. If Hendo wins, it'll be with a modified "Chael v. Silva" style; that is, close the distance with reckless abandon, impervious to strikes, and do damage on the inside (while Hendo won't be shooting doubles like Chael, he does need to get inside quickly.)

But Machida's point is not a crazy one.
