That's an ridiculous argument and I like Machida.
I like when a fighter utilizers good movement. It's great to see inside the pocket or creating an angle and sometimes it also means getting out of range. But if you're going to use it to spend a significant percentage of fight time maintaining a distance outside of an engagement range and not looking to beat the hell out of the other guy, then I'm not rooting for you.
