Possibly boring......this is a hard fight to pick though.... I tend to pick Chuck, because of his power and I think he is more accurate in his punches.....on the other hand, Machida is faster on hands and feet.....:think
machida would kill chuck liddell, and dan henderson just like he crane kicked randy couture into retirement.
:nono Prime chuck with his decent chin wld not be killed. Even a shot Liddell getting KO'd in his last few fights was not getting picked apart or dominated before KO.
Machida would KTFO Chuck in 2 rounds. Chuck's Chin has rotten to the point where a former math teacher from ohio can KO him Unconsious
Machida on points for me. Liddell is the greater fighter on what he achieved in his career, but h2h Machida would be too quick and crafty for him. Liddell has the power to end it at any time and the chin to avoid getting knocked out, but ultimately I think he'd get outmanoeuvred and defeated.
Not as accurate as Machida?. Machida was the only guy I saw who connected on Bones more than two times. Machida would have beaten or even Koed Prime Liddell. Lyoto is a 2nd Gen fighter in many ways.
Machida by pts or TKO. Machida's defense would give liddell problems on their feet. I do give liddell a puncher's chance but i think machida is a much better striker. Most of liddell's win during his title days were against wrestlers and bjj fighter.
What does Ohio have to do with anything ? Franklin just so happened to be a smart guy and a math teacher before he became a fighter :admin So what I mean how many top MMA fighters had a degree before fighting ? Chuck has a Bachelors in Business/Accounting, Carwin in Engineering, Cormier in Sociology, Forrest in Political Science, Cain Velasquez has one in Education, Monson has a PHD, Jens has a degree in Criminal Justice, Rashad in Psychology. The list could go on and on and on so does this make these guys any less of a fighter ? A few of these guys could have wound up teachers before fighting. Cleary it wasnt like Rich had just left the ****ing classroom when he fought Chuck, he had only been a pro for like 10 years and won a world Championship atsch
I think it depends on how Machida reacts to being caught and if he could keep his composure for the whole fight. He would give Liddell headaches though I favor him to win by UD if he takes as little punishment as possible. Of course a war would favor Liddell but I question Machida's mental toughness. Don't like his chances of surviving the full distance with a prime Chuck though he could still win. UD of course as a prime Liddell had a tough beard.
people get serious chuck is not from the same cloth as lyoto is from and chucks chin has never been that great stop hyping him up as a granite chin warrior the only man to have a granite chin is dan henderson however he knows that lyoto machida would knock his head off aswel
