Paradigm Posted February 16, 2014 Report Share Posted February 16, 2014 Look at the fight right there. First round Mousasi landed the same as Lyoto but you have to understand who was more aggressive won controlled the center of the octagon and who was going forward. Second round the same Mousasi landed more did throw more and of course the same as first round he controlled octagon and was moving forward. Yes Lyoto landed a good kick but Mousase ate it like is nothing. Fourth round Mousasi landed more strikes standing and on the ground. That sweet reverse I dropped a tear after that. One takedown can't let you win the round if you get reversed like a complete white belt. get the fuck out of here with that shit...learn about the sport before you go off spouting nonsense. Mousasi 1,2,4 lol... here are some reactions from actual pros who know about the sport: http://www.mmafighting.com/2014/2/16/5415532/ufc-fight-night-36-in-tweets-pros-react-to-lyoto-machida-vs-gegard Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jacky67 Posted February 16, 2014 Report Share Posted February 16, 2014 If you count pressure machida lost every round. Wish they fought in a ring. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest VladTheImpaler Posted February 16, 2014 Report Share Posted February 16, 2014 If you count pressure machida lost every round. Wish they fought in a ring. That's called octagon control and Mousasi controlled it in all stand up of the fight but I could not see the 5round for Mousasi Lyoto clearly won that but other rounds was painful to watch. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ramirez Posted February 16, 2014 Report Share Posted February 16, 2014 1 2 4 Mousasi fuck judges fuck lyoto you either need glasses or to switch to another sport.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ens189 Posted February 16, 2014 Report Share Posted February 16, 2014 2 was fairly good for Mousasi, 1 and 4 were close but I can't see 4 going for Mousasi either. Surprised Gegard seemed to put the low kicks away in the third. Fight Metric is worth a look too, I think people don't realise that most of the punches when Machida rushes don't actually connect.. http://hosteddb.fightmetric.com/fights/index/4591 Two was when Machida almost kicked his damn head off. Credit to him for not even dropping but that round was all Machida. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted February 16, 2014 Report Share Posted February 16, 2014 That head kick was a beast! Most people would have been KO'd then. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted February 16, 2014 Report Share Posted February 16, 2014 moose is lucky he didn't draw a dq (or nc or w/e) for that illegal upkick. could have been a lot worse. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fight Metric is worth a look too, I think people don't realise that most of the punches when Machida rushes don't actually connect.. http://hosteddb.fightmetric.com/fights/index/4591 I wonder if the judges can even tell cageside? I noticed a fair amount of his blitz's weren't connecting and Mousasi was actually countering him pretty well during some of them. Mousasi might've taken that second round before the headkick landed imo. Not the best scrap around but pretty par for a Machida fight. Mousasi said it best Lyoto was just a step ahead all night. Couldn't match his speed and just wound up chasing him for 25 mins. It's funny how some people accuse other fighters of "running" but Machida gets mad respect for being elusive and exploding from time to time. You could almost argue his style should be causng him to dropmore decisions as his opponents are generally the ones seemingly looking to engage where Machida is backing away and circling a lot of the time. Machida vs Jacare should be the next #1 contender fight but I don't think they'll fight each other. Also props to Carmont for not tapping to the choke in the first I think it was, that was deep.

Face Kicker Posted February 16, 2014 Report Share Posted February 16, 2014 I did think Mousassi showed a good chin though. He took some decent head kicks... yeah, that first one was right on the jaw. the others only hit with the foot so they weren't as powerful, but that first one probably would have KO'd some lesser fighters.

Lockdown Posted February 16, 2014 Report Share Posted February 16, 2014 were there any good prelim fights? the main card kind of put me to sleep aside from ogle/oliveira and silva knocking that dude out off a single leg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rambo Posted February 16, 2014 Report Share Posted February 16, 2014 Mousasi is the man, but he lost. I had it 1-1-1 going into the 4th and I think Machida took the last 2 rounds. Pretty drunk by then. Ring rust for Mousasi. Machida might be a bad matchup for Weidman, but Chris will mug Vitor. Mousasi vs Vitor is a fight I'd really like to see.

jls.monster Posted February 17, 2014 Report Share Posted February 17, 2014 As a Mousasi fan im afraid he played right into the game of Machida- but he did eat some punches/kicks and went to a decision, thus hes easily got potential for only 28 yrs old Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted February 17, 2014 Report Share Posted February 17, 2014 Mous should have won on chin alone. Also, it's funny that mous actually out struck him. Though machida had the more significant shots.. on the other hand, mous had more ''control of the pace''. I'd really have to go back and score it round by round to tell who I thought won. But at the time, I had machida winning. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ens189 Posted February 17, 2014 Report Share Posted February 17, 2014 There were two deep chokes carmont survived, i was shocked how often souza was looking over to his corner though He's tough as hell for sure, Souza looked a bit underwhelming but I guess he needs to have surgery on his arm from a camp injury+Carmont is a tough guy to look good against.

GregoryJackson Posted February 17, 2014 Report Share Posted February 17, 2014 Machida could be a bad matchup for Weidman if he gets past Vitor Machida's a tricky proposition for anyone, has such a unique style of fighting that make him difficult to predict and plan for!
