Early knock outs like the Carwin vs Wellisch and Silva vs Jardine are good to watch but do not contain the technical prowess and control that you see in a Machida fight. As MMA evolves we will see less and less quick KO's and a transition toward Machida's safe and technical style.
If his style is the future of MMA I will stop watching. If Machida was matched up with someone with the same style there wouldn't even be a punch thrown. I think you are 100% wrong in your whole post.
