Machida is also shot. Machida at LHW beats Couture 8/10. He's a terrible matchup for a chinny wrestler-boxer like Couture.
Couture got chinny late on just like Vitor, Liddel, Henderson, Fedor and a whole host of guys that went on too long. Machida is shot, just not quite shot to bits.
Good fight but Souza looked like he didn't train at all for this fight. His ground game was off in the first and he was totally gassed during the second and third.
I thought Couture had a pretty solid chin at 205, Liddell KOs notwithstanding (perfectly timed shots that would've KO'd just about any LHW ever).
is it just me or do you think if Kelvin put the burgers and hot dogs down, dedicated himself at Welter it's possible he would of been champ already...Even at MW his power and chin is a live dog against anyone.
