I agree, about his size. I do think he MIGHT have a problem with some of the larger guys.
However, for all we know he could be the greatest pndperpnd in the world.

You cant be serious...now you are REALLT RETARDED!  Dude get your head out of your ass,  7 decisions in 11 fights and you call this guy the best pound for pund.....TOOL!

Machida is a good counter striker with little power.  He will have trouble with weight cutting light heavys.  His inability to finish second tier fighters will become a nightmare if he fights a big LHW who cuts from 220 (like most of them do).  He should make the move to 185, and beat the tar out of Ace again.

Agreed, and MAYBE then he will be able to finish a fight in style, and not ride out a decision.

I don't agree that Machida lacks power.
He is very powerful, but he doesn't follow through.

Machida is like a laser-guided bomb, whereas other fighters are like carpet bombing.

He doesn't strike unless he's pretty sure he will hit.
It's a direct result of his point-sparring/shotokan karate training.
It stands in contrast to more aggressive styles like Kyokushin/knockdown karate and Muay-Thai, but it's worked so far.

He's beat Franklin, Bonnar, and an inflated BJ Penn.

He rode out a decision against BJ, who he outweighed by 30 lbs.  BJ gave as good as he got, and lost a SPLIT decision.

a laser guided bomb? then he really needs to get away from his point sparring training b/c he had plenty of dominate positions and just coudnt seem to finish the fight...

Thiago Silva is a bad dude, I expect him to actually put up a fight against Alexander, hell, he may even win.

Yeah, I'm sure you could give him a few pointers. He's undefeated, I guess what he's doing works. He doesn't get hit.  ::)
