[@MickeyRegala]

Lyoto is my favorite MMA fighter of all time. Growing up as a Judoka I always respected how he would act after a win. He always showed respect to his opponent no matter what happened. This is something that we learn in Judo. We always practice the principle of mutual respect. The understanding that we both worked hard to be able to fight each other.

[@BadTime4Real]

Lyoto is one of the legends in the sport can’t do nothing but respect him. Great episode great conversation, keep bringing the legends on.

Lyoto is the reason i started watching MMA. His traditional martial arts background mixed with his unorthodox technique within mma at the time was fascinating to me. Legend ❤

[@skinden1815]

The best karate master ever!!!

[@TreyParker318]

He was definitely one of the guys I watched early on. I always remember the commercial on spike TV. UFC 98 undefeated Lyoto the dragon Machida takes on Undefeated Suga Rashad Evans! I saw that commercial So many times, I decided to get the ppv.

[@eddie6198]

Man, them was the days. Back when the Light Heavy division was stacked with killers........and then Jon Jones beat em all lol

[@firstlast2386]

​@@eddie6198Yeah I was a big fan of Lyoto because he was so elusive and accurate back when I 1st got into MMA. Then he faced Jones 💀

[@Worldview1985]

Never liked mma/UFC until I saw him more than 12 years ago 🥋

[@petercha3387]

The Dragon, bro?! Who can say that there’s a better fight podcast than Rampage’s? Seriously… Always wholesome, always phenomenal guests… can’t get better than this.

[@Viking4real]

Imagine they get Jon Jones and Rashad, Wanderlei on the podcast 😂

[@omegaweapon116]

Yep. This one is a lot more fun to watch than Rogan's podcast when it comes to talking to fighters

[@WalterGalindo]

Rampage commands that level of respect from his peers.

[@jesusredondobarrena6247]

Lyoto Machida was all I spect from a true martial artist.Always respectfull,no hits when the guy was kcnoked down,reverences after every fight,win or lose,respecting everybody.A man who take the warriors code serioslly.A true legend

[@SF_Native]

Lyoto has a great sense of humor! Very cool to see this side of him. “I was pushing my hernia in” had me dying 😂

[@LimerickR266]

Another legend of the sport. I was a big fan of Machida back in the day. That light heavyweight division was on fire back then. Machida, Rampage, Chuck, Shogun, Tito, Wanderlei, Griffin, Vitor, Evans, Henderson, Jardine, Thiago Silva, that division was stacked!

[@G4MBIT]

What a line up that was

[@handsolo1546]

Yeah after the pride merge was peak UFC. There was so many good fights

[@alanacute5879]

😅

[@sluggak1363]

​@handsolo1546 yeah there were a few mma promotions purchased by the ufc to avoid competition. Pride made them strikeforce and wec preserved the ufc

[@JonselytheGreat]

One of the best lineups in UFC history imo, I wish I would have gotten into it earlier but I'm a mcgregor baby lmao, he had that draw nobody could avoid hearing about.

[@NoDecoy]

Face your fears, no matter how small or large they might seem. Standing up means more than the feared result. That's powerful. Thank you Lyoto.

[@sagewisdom1]

This stoic philosophical approach to reasoning is why Lyoto has been my favorite mixed martial artist. He is an inspirational human being. Great interview Rampage.

[@creoleking206]

This is officially my favorite podcast now this episode has everything in it comedy, authenticity and sound wisdom. Big ups to Rampage, Bear, and Lyoto Did dat!

Machida has always been in my top 5 because as a kid growing up taking Karate we always heard how it could never be effective in fighting. Machida was the first guy I saw growing up use Karate effectively to win a world title. That knockout against Rashad Evans was the reason I fell in love with the UFC 💯

[@Sandman27-88]

I think I speak for everyone when I say this is quickly becoming one of the best podcasts ever for combat sports and fans all the same. I’ve never heard Machida speak that much but he’s truly a gem that many have forgotten about. I could listen to his wisdom and experience for hours.

[@DXT61]

Man, that comment about his dads reaction to Rashad knockout was deep. Much respect.

[@jeremybstudentpilot5315]

Best part of the interview.

Machida is a class act. One of my faves to watch, be it a highlight striking match or a patient chess match.

Man Lyoto was one of my favorites when I followed every UFC event. Such a great person and story. Rampage is such a good talker this podcast is gonna be one of the best soon.

[@TerryTruthseeker]

Glover impression was spot on!!

[@hmongvampire]

man lyoto is deep. i can listen to him talk all day. he brings very good wisdom and life lessons. my mom just died not too long ago and i have been battling with grief. lyoto's message of "acceptance" made me realize that it's easier to accept that she's in a better place now and not suffering anymore vs fighting it and still being unhappy everyday. very humble. thank you lyoto. you guys need to bring in more mma legends like Glover, forrest griffin or even Rashad.

[@emmanuelyarbrough9821]

One of my favorite podcasts ever. Lyoto is a true martial artist, what an inspiration and a man of honor. I loved this. Also, Bear you’re doing an amazing job. Rampage gets a lot of praise, as he should, but Bear is also a great addition to this podcast. Thanks guys for bringing us this content. All love from The Netherlands ❤

He is best with perfect “ice breakers”. Hehe

[@DrewElGringasho]

Lyoto Machida is the reason I started watching ufc.. and the fighter i followed most.. i think it was his presence, his name, his style. I was a kid from Ohio but him and then Anderson Silva were the athletes of my childhood. Tank abbott and don frye as well, kone bryant, carmelo anthony, all that.. but I remember lyoto machida first, and Anderson silva a little later as being my absolute heroes. More than any American athlete. Just the way the cookie crumbled. They are class acts

Loved this conversation. Machida was my favourite ufc fighter growing up. You all did a great job. Machida dropping some gems. Accept what happens in life and Face your fears head-on!!!

[@moneymike473]

I'm glad this channel popped up on my feed. Looks like a lot of great episodes. Lyoto was my favorite fighter to watch when he was in his prime. I don't think I ever missed any of his fights, even after he left the ufc. I was so disappointed when he lost to Chris Weidman. I wanted him to win that belt. His middleweight title run was like a second prime for him.

[@akamukaniela1595]

Lyoto’s father doeee! That’s amazing self reflective ability. Truely a respectable quality. He doesn’t jump and celebrate outwardly after his son wins the title understanding how he would feel if his son were on the opposite end. Gotta love that shit bro. Never even thought about it that way.
