I'm a big fan of Lyoto but I wasn't impressed in that fight...He didn't really do any damage at all
Did you see Tito's eye? Or that knee to the body? Or that take-down and GNP? Tito is a tough guy to stop, but I thought Lyoto put in as good an effort as it was going to get.

Not impressed with Lyoto. He is strong, but what a *****. He ran like a little bitch. I'm not happy with him at all. Tito had him, but thats how it goes. Lyoto is a bitch. What a puss.
yeah, why didnt he just stand still and let tito him
i think that was the plan, Lyoto took tito outta his game plan, made him scramble, be reckless...
give props where its due... sheesh
If anything, you should be pissed at Tito for not training/planning on Machida doing this... its not as if this is the first time Machida has fought in the UFC, and this is what he *always* does...
I think the complaint is against Tito for not having a Plan 'B'

He ran? Did you take a look at Tito's face after the fight? Did you see him crumple to the ground holding his ribs? Did you see him get taken down?
Honestly this fight didn't turn me on to Machida. I was really hoping to see a fight and it was not at all what I was hoping to see. He spent a good deal of the fight disengaging which is certainly his perogative and maybe even prudent but I would have loved to see Tito's last fight go off more like a fight than a technical hit and run type of deal. Tito good luck wherever you land and I look forward to seeing a fight with Machida that doesn't frustrate the hell out of me. On a personal level Machida is not easy to dislike but his style in the cage is NOT exciting, even against Tito.

You're kidding right? He didn't run he was dodging Titos punches and making him really frustrated. Look at the damage he did to Tito.
Tito was totally humble, and respectful in his after fight interview, I hope he goes to Elite and does good there, but this fight showed how much the sport has moved on and he hasn't.

That knee to the body made Tito grab himself and fall down to his back. Not to mention the cut earlier in the fight.
I love Machida's style, he's like a ninja in there. Tito has a history of going downhill when he doesn't dominate early and Lyoto fought a very smart fight. His style is a counter striker, and in order to make that effective, he needs his opponent to come to him. He did just that and deserved the win.
Yes. People call it smart fighting, but its really boring. Other than that one liver kick he didn't do anything. If they fought straight up Tito could TKO that puss.
Props to Tito for one hell of an effort. Lyoto is one of the top 5 LHW's in the world and Tito wasn't really outclassed in anyway by Lyoto. It might have been 30-27 but it wasn't a onesided fight.
I'm no Tito fan but when he locked in that triangle I jumped up and was cheering.
The guy has a ton of heart and he tried his best to have an exicting fight and the effort he put in during the third IMO made it exicting. He walked in to that knee by trying to close the distance. Great act of class by Tito to in the post fight.
