    He is very powerful, but it's positioning and balance that allows him to throw around guys like that

    I actually wondered where Dana and Rogan got this fact that its every 2 1/2 rounds. Because truthfully Evens got him once on separate occasions when they engaged. Evans is extremely quick.

    Other than that and the Soko fight, hed put Floyd to shame defensively.

    You cant even kick this guys legs. Its ridiculous:lol:

    That is true he finds the weak lines. But the Tito takedown was just pure strength. I'll have to see it again.

    He is kind of overated but not in a silly way, if he can ebat shogun i think he moves up into the relms of silva, gsp, fedor,penn until that win though he is a top guy but just below them.

    He's beaten a lot of good fighters. Shogun will probably be his toughest fight though. I don't necessarily think he is overrated but people are slightly blinded by his last fight

    I know you've watched Machida, so wtf are you even doing asking this question? :lol:

    Are there hyperbolic statements made about him? Yes. True of any elite fighter.

    Is he undeservedly ranked as an elite fighter, based on never having beaten someone who themselves was unquestionably elite? No that's bull****. Of course he's elite, just watch him fight. Even dominating very good but not elite opponents is enough to tell you he's rated appropriately.

    Way overrated, more overrated than Brock. Machida hasn't done **** yet and is already amongst Fedor, Silva and GSP in p4p. You realize he hasn't defended his title ONCE right?
    I think Shogun will rip his head off and it will be the end of short lasted **** drinking era.
