Machida and his strange open mouth surprised i dunno how to describe it facial expression after attempted strikes and strikes that connected by Shogun.
Shogun and his carlos newton-esque, dragon ball z, arm wave, circle, force field, "you didn't connect hit me" kinda thing
Machida's power level was obviously below 9000 while Shogun's was well above 9000.

Thats exactly what that was.
He was doing it alot, probably not the best habit to get into. But what i know, i am not a pro MMA fighter
it was both entertaining and artful
Erik the Red - it was both entertaining and artful
lol
You mean the part where Shogun was spreading his arms out after Machida attack him?

It seemed to be working to me, but, I am a Shogun fan so what do I know?
I like this thread...VTFU
he was practicing his front stroke... Shogun beats Phelps in 2012

I'll try to find a gif of Rua doing that. he did it a few times
we called it the "eagle" at the bar i was wathcing it at. sometimes he did a one armed eagle.
it was pretty funny. I though he might bust out a nate guarry sprinkler maneuver

A few times?! I'll go back, watch it with no sound and score those arm circles myself!

That is not some pussy cartoon move, it is the Last Dragon & Bruce Lee Roy would be proud.
ttt for a gif
Glad someone else noticed this. I told my friend that Shogun was so agile and smooth that he was doing all kinds of interpretitive artistic expressions throughout the fight.
His guard throughout the night was like someone pantomiming pointing to a far away location while shielding your eyes from the sun.
How about the one or two times he randomly shadow-boxed an uppercut from 10 feet away.
My only guess as to the reason behind those DBZ movements was maybe to shake his arms out after holding them up non-stop?
I got to start doing this Shogun thing now while doing MMA seems like a cool thing to do.
