Shawn Tompkins Has Some Decent Ideas About Lyoto Machida
« on: June 02, 2009, 07:02:19 AM »
How successful this strategy will prove is still very much an open question, but this seems like an excellent start:

"I've got two plans if any of my fighters ever fight Lyoto Machida," Tompkins told Cofield and Cokin on ESPN Radio1100 in Las Vegas. "First of all, I'm going to go to three of the best karate schools in the area, get their best guys, and work that timing. Because that's all it is: He has a different timing than everybody else. And secondly, you need to be a wrestler. You need to be chest-to-chest with that guy, and you need to be either pressing him against the cage or putting him on his back."

machida won't be there for as long as say, Liddell.  He will be figured out..

im predicting gsp could beat machida if the both agreed to meet at a certain weight, like 190 or so. gsp has got the style to beat machidas crazy hong kong phuey style. to be honest a injured tito ortiz almost beat machida, in tito,s prime before the hollywood thing started tito would have gave machida a much better fight

I don't.  The above was my opinion.  Aren't most of these threads opinions?

Why do you act like a prick on here?  Drop your attitude, it's annoying.
