I'm from Belém, the same town Lyoto grew up. My younger brother wanted to learn Karate so we took him to the best karate academy, APAM Machida. Every day I took my brother there, and every day I saw little Lyoto stretching, training, and even assisting his father on training the starting belts. I was around 13, so Machida must have been 9 or 10 at the time and he was already a purple belt (two behind the black). I remember thinking to myself: this kid is going to be a karate legend one day. He ended up becoming much more.

No one can remain undefeated so long as they continue to fight. Machida to me, in his moment, was such a class act, displayed impeccable timing and was respectful.

When you study his loses, for the most part, he doesn’t lose anything in terms of his legacy. A true gentleman.

I've always been a boxing fan and I still am. I may have watched 10 UFC matches in my life, mostly when it first started. If you didn't experience the first year of UFC. Try with all your might to find a way to watch the first 3 seasons the best from what my brother says. He was always a finesse fighter, me I love using my heavy hands but i like tobreak fingers, gouge an eye out, break a jaw with a knee and oh yeah, I don't care how as long as they lose and I win. That Was me now I can hardly walk and I can't open and close my hands. And I'm losing my memory. Moral of the story? Dont be a Mean like I was. Jesus Saved Me. Now, my fight with those demons is over. Jesus changed me and gave me Love, Peace and Joy . I'm I changed Man. When I tried to do it by hurting people to make the pain feel suppressed. It would work for an hour, a minute, or a second but then come back making me more angry. The Jesus Praise the Lord my chains are gone and I'm a slave to Sin and Guilt no more. There is therefore no Condemnation in those who are in Christ Jesus. In other words , if Jesus Christ is your Savior then no one, not even Satan, can hold what you've done in the past over you and keep from Heaven. You have been Forgiven :)

Lyoto and Silva are still two of my favorite fighters in the world. So much fun to watch.

Respectful and humble. Always a pleasure to watch his fights. This was an extremely well done summary of his career.

Very impressed,,and he stayed humble,,my respect

Lyoto Machida is my favourite UFC fighter of all time. Once stopped fighting, the sport just lost a lot of its magic for me. Lyoto was so incredible. An unorthodox fighter with insane precision and timing, his fights were always unpredictable. A true legend in my eyes. And most of all, a true gentleman

i think that Lyoto Machida is 100% a candidate for the Greatest of All Time. He was phenomenal

I truly respect this guy I haven't ever heard of him until right now I love him wish the best success to him and value everything he has done

Machida was one of the greatest to ever do it no doubt. He also has something special which is hard to find these days - humbleness, grace, respect. A real champion in my book.

That's how proper japanese Karate is taught - with the philosophy. Which is why the father's objections to making a show of it were natural. And why, if you come from there, fighters from other disciplines often seem like puffed up idiots. :p On the other hand that is also why it has the (not unreasonable) reputation to be less practical in a MMA setting. But he showed that with a few additions (mostly grappling) it can be very viable.

That sound like a sort of reverse version of how Bruce Lee would effortlessly kick 3 dude's asses, and then while having them incapacitated, he would "school" each of his adversaries teaching them a lesson. With Lyoto, we see him doing that with himself. But just as his father preached, "Above all, you must learn to beat yourself..." so, it makes a lot of sense from that perspective, alone

What a piece of unit this guy was. Humble and straight on point, no pointless drama.

what a great fighter so polite and respectful

I had a good friend who was as good as Machida, with 20 years of Shotokan under his belt, went to Mexico, on vacation, and started showing his moves and skills, as some athletes tend to stretch, pose, and kick at the beach. The Drug cartels took it as if he was mocking them, so the next day, the Martial Arts Master was found decapitated, dismembered, and hanging from a bridge, RIP to my best friend. The lesson learned is that no matter how tuff someone is, or thinks he is, no one is invincible. One is still, flesh and bone, fragile and mortal.

Lyoto Machida is an excellent fighter, disciplined, focused, makes perfect adjustments and is well prepared to fight anyone. He's had a great example and teacher, his father to guide him along the way. He made a solid decision that paid off and proved that traditional martial arts can still be very effective when applied properly even when he had to go against his sensei and father's advice. But what I like the most about this fighter, this man, is his humbleness and overall respect for others. I could honestly say that Lyoto Machida is my all time favorite fighter. Continued success and blessings to you Brazilian Dragon!

To be honest Lyoto does keep tradition for the most part but he did actually change his karate a little bit. He had to make adjustments and leave some things out in order for it to work in the octagon. The same way Muai Thai had to be changed because nobody goes into MMA using the traditional muai thai stance, it had to be changed.

I love that Machida sticks to his Shotokan roots every chance he got, with the distinct deep stances, long range offense, kime (explosive attacks) and fast triangle footwork. Classic shotokan. Not to mention keeping karate manners on and off the tatami. The humility, no trash talking, bowing and even getting into a seiza (sit on the floor) and bowing when he knocked out his opponents. A true Shotokan Tiger (or Dragon - as he calls himself). I’m also moved to see GSP & Wonderboy always observe karate manners, be humble and respectful to their opponents too. The three always keep their integrity. The Dojo Kun is their way of life.

His father should be very proud that his son made an entire generation respect and admire karate again.

I loved it , very few know how to use all their arsenals , I was impressed

How a person can withstand such violent striking that top level contenders go through....I am dumbfounded. Lyoto, you have my respect and admiration forever.
