Love when fighters show restraint and don’t pummel a clearly unconscious opponent. Lyoto’s a good man, he wants to win, he doesn’t want to permanently brain damage his opponents.
Agreed, seeing guys diving on & pummeling clearly unconscious opponents is starting to turn me off to the sport of MMA.
@@BRUCEJJ66 For me fight sports are the most dumb of all sports, those people are brain damaging themselves. Although is super cool to watch and very inspiring to see what the human body can do.
@@FallenLight0 Seriously, back then boxing was a tameable sport and relaxing to watch but now its evolves to something like this.
@@wankahi7631 ......what kind of an idiot do you have to be to believe boxing nowadays is dangerous compared to the past?
Completely agree. There’s something more interesting in an honourable fighter. As soon as you’re out they’re worried for your safety.
I love how Lyoto brought traditional martial arts discipline into MMA. After seeing so much showboating and trash talking, it was great to see humility and respect demonstrated.
Yes sir
That's how it started mma was mixed styles not everyone combining styles for a hybrid. Wrestles used to wear shoes but couldn't kick lol hilarious times.
"Traditional" martial arts are about the most suck a$$ way you could defend yourself.😂
@@outdoorsman7324 so whats your way of defending yourself? Or you just talking out your ass?
@@outdoorsman7324 I think he's talking more about the philosophy of traditional martial arts, such as respect, integrity, ect.
When he was undefeated, nobody was able to figure him out and he brought a different style to the MMA game. Kudos.
Anderson silva did the same
He was doing very well against another legend- Jones. Timing his kicks to land instant counter punches. But he did that too often and jones caught him with a feint. Hi IQ madness
Yeah, but he was severely undersized in the LHW division. Very hard to hang with a giant like Jones physically.
The style that many people was mocking at the time. I told people in forums "don't get fooled by the point sparring, those guys could do serious damage if they actually hit you", bacause I trained in Japan that type of karate and I faced very fast and strong guys.
When I watched Machida's fights it was refreshing and also he proved my point. Because those guys are precise aiming. Only that in sports karate they don't hit with full power because they don't want to damage each other.
The guys who mocked that kind of karate as a "dance" had to ate their words.
It’s crazy that Sonnen stopped machida with a forehead to the knee. Truly a remarkable strike
Never lost a round
Undefeated,undispiuted
That is the funniest comment I have read in a while
i just love his stance after that kick. like a tradesman looking at a new installation all cleaned up and set solidly, admiring a job well done. just a man doin his job and doin it well.
Idk if i should ruin the 69 like or not
😂😂😂😂
🍻
His job being sending men to the afterlife
Hahahaha almost pissed myself reading this mate
I always got chills watching Lyoto bow to unconscious opponents. It's like he's guiding them into the afterlife and thanking them for their sacrifice
Bro you watch too much anime.
@@alinddash9567 lmao
@@alinddash9567 I m💀
I got chills thinking about him drinking his own urine...
Not bowing to them, but to their ancestors.
Lyoto shows SO much restraint when his opponent are down. That has to go against every nerve as a fighter, esp. with all that adrenaline going. Shows that he has a genuinely good character & soul.
Karate is as much about mastering the mind as it is about body, perhaps even more so.
Much respect 🙏
That's what you learn when you're trained properly in any martial art. Not just proper techniques but also to train your mind. Discipline is key.
sad to know it's rare these days.
That‘s what I thought as I saw this. Every other mma fighter would knock on a opponent until the referee steps in.
He isn't fighting with any malice towards the opponent.
He's a martial artist. McGregor gave him props for not attacking Munoz.
Lyoto Machida is a TRUE martial artist. He's one of the few that still holds old traditions and values.
I usually don’t like to watch MMA or UFC. But this man is the epitome of sportsmanship dignity and honor. Kudos
✊ respect
I want nganou to fight palhares
You’d like Stephen “Wonderboy” Thompson’s style a lot too then. Nicest fighter in the sport with an absolute killer karate style. His youtube channel is pretty nice too
He seems incredibly in control of his body and very aware of what’s happening in the octagon. That’s what impressed me. A lot of these guys turn into brutes and stop thinking when the fight starts
What really caught my eye was the footwork honestly
That Vitor front kick still boggles my mind cause I keep thinking "his foot can't reach his chin unless he moves forward a bit" and then he kicks Vitor from that position without even moving an inch forward 😂
Great flexibility, footwork, and a southpaw stance is something you don't wanna encounter in an MMA match
The secret is in the urine
@@greengoat5654That comes from traditional Japanese karate. The type of karate that many keyboard warriors laugh at as a "dance", from their ignorance.
You couldn’t be more mistaken. Do you know how technical and how much goes on through their heads?
Bowing down is low-key a more savage celebration than jumping on the cage and yelling. That's some Ghost of Tsushima type sh*t! 😅
Jin Sakai got KO'ed by Tai Tuivasa
Ghost of Machida
It’s honestly the most impressive form. Imagine finishing a guy then holding in all that adrenaline.
Mans literally dark souls gestures
Iconic af
Crazy how Sonnen was able to come back in that fight and score the win over Lyoto. Heart of a lion.
Back of the head strikes! DQ win for Chael
Undefeated , undisputed .
Chael has supraphysiological levels of never losing a fight
@@benfillar940 he's juiced to the gills with victories
Ahahahahaha, 10/10 username.
Machida has always been one of my favorite fighters. And his KO of Vitor is my favorite KO of all time. He didn't rush in, just stood in place and bowed. That's some ancient samurai code right there. The classiest killer in MMA.
For me him and Silva are my favorite of all time
Imagine being Vito, knocked out by two front kicks from guys who are close friends with one another. Silva and Machida
He didn't kill anyone they just got knocked out that's it
You bow out of respect, because your opponent has lended his body so that you can apply your techniques
The level of control Machida exhibits is superhuman - he knows as soon as someone is out and stops striking before the ref even notices. He did prove that karate could be effective, but with his discipline, I don't think there is any form that wouldn't be.
The very embodiment of a professional: Respect, self-control, and dedication to excellence.
I think the deeper flex of not-celebrating when you win is not only a demonstration of mastery/self-restraint but the implication that you’re so good that winning to you isn’t special. It’s as normal as breathing. It’s saying: ‘win or lose, it could go either way, just here to fight my best, and my best is devastating’
He actually said a few times that he's only there making money and succeeding in life also thanks to his opponents so the least he can do is to be respectful and grateful for them.
Never forget the Machida era.
Lmao he sucked and had no era
@Dequavas he’s right he didn’t have era lmao he only had 1 title defense there’s too much competition in the light heavyweight until Jon jones became champion and rocked everyone include machida lol
@@mb61j2 another winner lol
@@mb61j2 Just good enough that he brought your ass here with some babble.:)
A very short era though. Shogun owned him but Shogun era was even shorter. Lol
Lyoto was a monster, his karatê kicks was somenthing incridible for his weight. I am brazilian, for me Lyoto was a better fighter than Vitor Belfort.
Lyoto Machida was much more of a straight karateka martial artist mixing the arts in the cage, Vitor was a escaped gone wrong killer specimen that wanted to get the opponent out of there and of course also skilled. This was just a past prime Vitor. Vitor did alot better at Jones than Lyoto too. That arm bar!!!
@@patricklutherwinchester4260 only the armbar, nothing else. Machida did a better job striking and defending takedowns. Same thing against Ortiz and weidman
@@mauriciosalgadogonzalez2305 Lyoto Machida rocked Jon Jones. But Vitor snapped Jones' arm. Don't forget Lyoto gave Gegard Mousasi 2 tough fights.
Lyto was my first favorite ufc fighter then it was Anderson then Gsp
I believe vitor was sauced up as well.
Lyoto is Mr Fair Play. He never does too much. He knows when to stop attacking after he KOs then
@Royal S lol... yea like all there cheating Chinese Olympians?
The fact is he's an honorable, talented, and skilled competitor.
And there are cheaters, viscous, rage filled dishonorable competitors from every nationality and racial group.
@Royal S Brazilian
As an 80s and 90s kid who grew up sucked into the Karate craze of the era, Machida quickly became one of my favorites when he jumped into the scene. I kind of miss the days when every fighter had their own unique specialization, but I do feel we get an overall better product now than we used to.
It's crazy to see the kind of eras we've already been through with MMA. I was a kid when UFC was still no holds barred, wild west thing. Then Pride came up, UFC became more legit. Saw the difference in fighters and how they acted. Basically a tough man competition at first with the kind of over the top personalities and giant egos. Then came the true athletes, still early when you could still have more of a specific style but they were fighters coming in to test their skills and be the champion, less ego. Now we're in an Era where the skill level is just through the roof and these guys have to be way more well rounded and complete but we'll see them sometimes agree to fully disregard a ground game and just fully slug it out. Way more ego in and out of the ring. I'm amazed with the athletes abilities but a little disappointed with the theatrics.
Only when you play that first Kick in .25 Speed is when you truly appreciate his hip feint… still to this day Belfort thinks a roundhouse to the body is coming.
Never knew that actually
Youre right I never knew that either. Its a roundhouse until his foot leaves the ground, but then its too late to defend
He sold the shit out of it! He throws a feint with his left too right before..dunno if he bit on that or it caused him to bite harder on the body kick but sheesh lol
*to this day*
Only for the die hard fans to appreciate
One of best light heavyweight on history!!! Love his style
Drinking that pee style.
Yeah that's Jon Jones
@@irfananfilla nice troll
@@irfananfilla He said "one of"
@@irfananfilla can’t be the best if you ain’t clean
1:53 the respect that Lyoto had for not throwing the punch and after going to help Munõz is admirable!
Obviously he doesn't normally deliver unnecessary damage to his opponents but it was even more in his mind than usual because Munõz is his friend
I find the whole helping the other person you just knocked out to be a bit out of place. Just give them some space. Also you are not a medical doctor, let the professionals do their job
Actually they were team mates and buds when that fight took place. It was really hard to watch. No one wanted to throw a punch/kick.
One of the best ever. Never got cocky or disrespected his opponents. Had that true warrior spirit that was emphasized in martial arts. So; Lyoto, Stephen Thompson, GSP and Khabib are my favorite fighters
🥱
Nothing but respect for this fella. When their out he doesn't feel the need to get one more shot in.
Perfect fighter
He might not be one of the greatest ever, but he’s one of my favorites. Always made it fun, sort of like if Wonderboy had a ground game.
He is most certainly one of the greatest ever. That’s what happens when you are champion of the highest echelon of fighting in the world. Machida is a revolutionary fighter and one of the greatest to ever do it.
He should def be hall of fame
he is one goats period
He's definitely up there with the best ever. If Jon Jones didn't come through and clean up that division I think they would've been playing musical chairs with the title. LHW at that time was full of straight up badasses and Lyoto was champion. He only ever lost to great fighters.
What? He was the light heavyweight champion, that defeated 2 Undefeated fighters to get there. That echos in eternity. He is without a doubt one of the greatest to step inside the octagon
I'm Brazilian and Lyoto is a Legend and a great example for MMA fans and Fighters in Brazil... He surpassed Vitor Belfort, Wanderley Silva, Murilo Bustamante and a few others, in the legendary status! And Bro your video Titles are the fucking best!
Surprised you didn't mention a Gracie or Anderson Silva as one of the legends
@@mammontustado9680 he mentioned legends that got surpassed by Lyoto, of course he didnt mentioned a Gracie
@@H982FKL-TG nor spider
@@mammontustado9680 família Grace não se compara. São únicos e inigualaveis aqui no Brasil e no mundo.
@@mammontustado9680 the Gracie era they fought nobodies and people who dont know grappling. There is a reason Gracie family has more losses in MMA then wins now... I still don't know what techniques they invented.
Watching his fight with Jones again made me realize what a moster this guy really was. Not to underrate a fantastic fighter like Jones but I think Lyoto was doing great in the first two rounds. Unfortunately for him, he got impatient, overconfident and just careless with his strikes as fight went on. Jones and his corner realized this set the trap. Irony is Lyoto is the best at getting his opponents commit with his evasive footwork and counter them. Chris Weidman also figured Lyoto out. He didn't take that extra step Lyoto counters and messed his whole gameplan. Great fighter
No I’d say that the big elbow and cut from Jones changed the momentum of the fight, when lyoto saw his blood I think he lost his confidence. The fake and punch is what dropped him, then Jones got a tight hold of his neck…. and the rest is history
but yeah you’re spot on with the rest. Lyoto was a beast in his prime
He didn’t get over confident or impatient. He was using the same techniques that worked in the first round. Jones just caught on. But up until that point Machida was the only one who got the better of him for a round.
Also don't forget age
Jon's corner told him when jon throws the leg kick lyoto is rushing forward so jon fakes the leg kick, lands either a cross or jab and drops him into a guillotine. Lyoto didn't get overconfident or careless at all. He's a beast jon was just better.
Plus jon got him on the ground where he's far stronger than lyoto and dropped a fight changing elbow on him
I like his feints, you see it coming whenever he suddenly relaxes his stance then delivers a high-speed kick out of nowhere.
When Machida was taking over UFC, definitely one of my favorite fighters to watch. So smooth. Untouchable. It was magic.
I really dig how restrained he is, he sees his opponents hit the mat and he doesn't jump them and pound like everybody else, he knows he's got it and needs no more.
The one on Vitor is beautiful.
He distracts him with his hands and twists his front foot feinting like he’s gonna throw the lead leg then plants his back foot on his jaw.
Even though I’ve seen it millions of times I still fall for the feints.
I'm Brazilian who lives on the same City of him and his family. Just talk with him a few times, what an amazing vibe personally, huge respect.
Did you drink his piss?
Ele bebeu foi o gozo do cara kkk
Hey neighbor.
THIS was the guy who got me into UFC. He will always be my favorite fighter.
Lyoto é um dos poucos que sabe o ponto exato onde parar de bater no adversário sem exceder a força! Nunca vi aplicando golpes que não precisavam parabéns Lyoto!!!
O cara consciente é outro nível. 👍🇧🇷.tmj
Damn i miss this so much, lyoto got me into MMA and im still so gutted that he never reached the heights of his potential once people figured out his style :(
I don't necessarily think that people figured out his style I think that he relied on his speed heavily and as he got older he slowed down
@@timothymetropoulos7311 "figured out his style" lmao.
Yeah like Tyson and Muhammad Ali, once their style were "figured out" they weren't as good anymore. Same with Micheal Jordan.
As you say, a sportsman star has his prime, and that prime will expire, nothing lasts forever.
Has nothing to do with figuring stuff out.
Dude, he became champion and is old. He was in pride for Christ sake. He definitely reached the heights of his potential.
@@Lasse3 Ali was different imo. I agree with what u said, but for Ali it was different. Plus his 3 year exile? God only knows how good his true prime would’ve been. Same with Tyson, but Tyson was more self sabotage albeit around the wrong crowd and being as young as he was with that fame
I remember when he first came on the scene, he was unbeatable, never saw anything like his style being that devastating
O mais nobre dos Guerreiros.
Técnica diferenciada, profissionalismo, compaixão e respeito.
Símbolo de que a luta é 1 esporte, não 1 guerra.
Parabéns Dragão Machida.
Phil this is one of your greatest uploads
Always had mad respect for machida. In his prime he was as technical as anyone and always had class.
Lyoto is one of the best in UFC history. A plus is that he is a class act!
Uma pena que o tempo chega pra todos,esse é um que por todas as qualidades e virtudes faz muita falta no octógono.Verdadeiro artista marcial.Te amamos Lyoto
Lyoto is so underrated he’s one of my favs
Dat setup at 1:10 was so beautiful he was feinting his left foot and came with da switch right😮💨🔥
He had such a clean style. Every knockout is picture perfect.
the rashad one was brutal.. the way his leg bent backward.. sheeesh lol loved this lyoto era man
He made Rashad do the Stanky Leg
On the river to the shadow realm, Lyoto was on the shore bowing to all his deceased opponents.
Glad you reuploaded this again 🤙
Machida's super-fluid technique always amazed me and his timing, especially with counter-punches, was incredible. His superb movement and patience often outclassed other fighters alone. One of the best
Ever finish where he held back the extra punches were more savage than *ANY* celebration, the icing on top is the traditional bow.
Machida's self-control to not hurt Mark Muñoz on the ground is a lovely thing to see.
Golden years of the UFC LHW division. Rampage, Evans, Shogun, Machida, Forest, even Silva jumping up to 205, and the young Jon Jones before the coke haha. What a time!!
Yep...that 2009 era. Never forget it !
I don't even know who fights anymore. Definitely not as compelling.
I’ve been waiting for this one. One of my faves
Some humility and respect for his opponents. Fights hard and wins but is not trying kill the guy. I dig that
Wonderboy is another example of karate working well in mma
More then bowing, the respect is seeing him pull his punches once he has ko'ed rather than keep striking until the ref calls it. The respect for his opponents life is admirable. Head trama has lasting effect.
What a beast but a sportsman as well RESPECT
that's some insane amount of control where he went for ground and pound and stopped himself because the opponent was out
Mark Munoz was actually Lyoto’s good friend, which is why he didn’t inflict any unnecessary damage. They never wanted to fight each other, but business is business.
@@jdailey01230 Yes
Always loved watching this man fight guys are knocked out and stops instead of keep beating the guy and very respectful. Love this dude
Lyoto is such a a beautiful fighter he may not the best of all time but God damn is he so majestic to watch
Wrong! He's one of the 🐐.
“Lyoto says that drinking his own urine is a big reason why he’s healthy and skilled in the octagon”
Yeah you can’t just speed past that.
Lol then last part is him drinking his pee along with the reporter drinking her own pee..haha
Something he didn't understand in this life. The whole reason for his thoroughness in his discipline is his discipline in the first place. Same reason those who credit religion for their successes don't understand that it's their focus that got them their.
@@BackseatCharlie Thanks, I was wondering if she drank his pee or her own
@@rohe4077 Disagree wholeheartedly with this last part you said. Many religions foster focus and discipline and also encourage one to celebrate their wins and progress and recognize their own efforts
@@rohe4077 Well said!
You never miss with these titles bro
Una leyenda Lyoto...uno de mis favoritos!! El no daba golpes de mas cuando ya estaban inconcientes.. Un maestro.
For some reason I did not remember Lyoto having that lights out power. Gonna have to rewatch his run!
Best part was the TV reporter trying to keep a smile on her face after she drank that lil bit.
Fun fact: Lyoto never bowed after a fight in Brazil bc he was afraid to be hit in the head and have his wallet stolen. That's a true story btw.
Every story by uncle Chael automatically turns into reality. I’m Brazilian but that comment is hilarious to this day (and somewhat true 😔)

O maior representante do Karatê no MMA. Lyoto é um dos melhores lutadores de todos os tempos.
Ah yes my favorite fighter of all time. The dudes outside fighting was something you had to witness in your lifetime. The UFC knew how good his striking was and they paid him bonuses for every finish he got. Not many fighters got a deal like that. You had to be special.
Your favorite fighter of all time drinks his own piss.
@@shawnr590 what that got to do with me being a fan of his fighting style 🤣 but if it works it works I guess.
O cara mais respeitoso que já vi lutar, um verdadeiro atleta
Many people misunderstand what happened in the Chael fight. Clearly they stopped it to make sure Machida was ok, but ever the star the ref couldn't help but want to get Chapel's autograph in the moment making everyone think Machida won even he didn't. Undefeated and undisputed
He is the only one who doesn't do more damage when the enemy falls to the ground, that guy has honor.
Silva Vs Machida would've been such a banger.
Silva by round 3 TKO
Lol he’ll yeah
What a beast! If I remember correctly, Machida was incredibly difficult to take down. Just not many weaknesses to go after if he had any.
I feel sorry for Vitor Belfort the only 2 up kick kos standing up in history was from Silva and Machida both great fighters both Brazilians ko the same person the same way
definitely not the only 2 front kick ko's in history, there have been others. The UFC has a 5 minute video of nothing but front kick ko's on youtube and Chito just had one against Frankie Edgar since that video was released.
@@KrikZ32 he means vitor is the only fighter to be ko’d twice with that move.. of course we have had front kick ko but no fighter in ufc history has been ko twice with that move apart from vitor

Never knew I needed this compilation! Thanks🖖
I love how he does his absolute best to not hit the opponent if he knows they're knocked out. Class act and how all fighters should do it
thank you. Lotta people have Forrest or Rampage as their face of UFC. And for good reason. But I will always think of Lyoto Machida when i think of my earliest UFC memories. He was so freaking good man. I loved watching him.
Just imagine a prime machida vs Jiri Prozchka. 😮😮😮😮
Machida via TKO.
prime machida beats pretty much anyone that wasnt a legend in their prime like jones or rampage. even his loss to rampage was close
@@Ty-oe4dr I always felt he won that fight
@@Ty-oe4dr he loses to Wanderlei and Anderson. Maybe a loss to Randy but imo Lyoto was just a monster
leaning towards Jiri. Machida is a normal sized middleweight in shape, and Jiri is just a huge light heavyweight as well.
One of if not the greatest true martial artist. Great respect
i like how he has enough respect to not hit his opponents when they are knocked out
Karate works if you're LYOTO MACHIDA or have been training under a realistic coach that teaches GOOD karate for years and years
Johnny Lawrence is this kind of coach
GSP and Machida are the 2 champions that really utilised karate in their arsenal
Shotokan karate works if you understand distance control and fencing fighting style
@@treez439 Yeah, stupid asf.
Karate works if you know how to apply it depending on what you want to use it for. Bonus points if you aren't doing that light contact shit that's in the olympics now.
Lyoto has some of the coldest finishes in the game
Yeah, machida getting choked out with a standing guillotine was the coldest submission I've ever seen
@@lunafreed the cold part was when he dropped him, not the actual submission 🥶
Lyoto gave Jon Jones his best fight hands down. I honestly thought he would be the one to beat Jones because Lyoto is like Jones in alot of ways. It was a great match and I believe from match that Lyoto is a close second to him, might even beat him in a rematch 🤷🏼♂️
still won't beat Jones in a rematch
This is the level of sportsmanship and professionalism I would like the entire sport to exhibit
Love Machida as a fighter. His style was hard for many fighters to face and he has very good character. It just seems more professional and inspiring to be respectful after you’ve K.O.’d an opponent. A good example to follow in my opinion.
Yeah none of y’all are confused by the pee stuff okay?💀
I forgot about “welcome to the machida era”, if only there was 1 defence without controversy
Welcome to the Machida era
Seeing Ryan Bader run into that car crash of a punch still makes me wince.
Lyoto needs to drink more water
the piss thing is interesting...
Why is it not being communicated that he got a chick to 'cheers' some piss and drink it on public television with him lol
Pee shots with the reporter at 3:14 🤐
#satanist
This is my favorite fighter ever, I remember watching him and Silva in their primes
The classic Mae Geri. Unstoppable kick.
Machida was a demon man. When he was on-point in his prime, he was fun to watch. Now, he's better off fighting older dudes. Now, I know I just wrote that, but he should be nowhere near Bellator. At least, he shouldn't have been in that tournament.
