TweetThat was kind of the idea. If you know tito doesn't have **** except the ground and pound, you stay out of range of the takedown. he had some nice punches and elbows when he and tito went to the ground in 2nd. and that knee in the third was **** SWEET. Lyoto is for real. These guys in mma all want to talk sh it about how karate fighters can't hang with them. He is proof that a PROPERLY trained karate man has the tools to dominate. work on your ground game for sure but karate based with a good ground game is hard to beat. Rogan always comments about how Machida's kicks are so good because they aren;t telegraphed, stealth like he calls them. DUH, isn't that the point. Every mma guy i have seen wind up for that big back leg roundhouse to the head never lands. the opponent sees it coming from last tuesday and is well out of range and the kicker make a big circle after his kick misses. i always wonder why when the kicker has his back turned after that miss that the opponent doesn't take his back. we work that all the time in our dojo, some dude throws a loopy kick we either enter while hs back is turned and take down and finish or help the kick around and eneter for the choke. what are these dudes waiting for? the dude to throw ANOTHER kick at them??
