Lyoto Machida vs Dan Henderson Highlights (Tough FIGHT)

#ufc #lyotomachida #danhenderson #mma #fight #combatsports #martialarts #kickboxing #wrestling #takedown #punch #entertainment #edit #youtube
Lyoto Machida faced the Final Strikeforce Light Heavyweight Champion, Pride Middleweight Champion, Pride Welterweight Champion, and at that time #1 contender Dan Henderson on 23 February 2013, on the co-main event of UFC 157.
The winner of the fight was expected to get a title shot. Machida defeated Henderson via split decision, but ultimately Alexander Gustafsson was given the title shot against Jon Jones

[@raffimckringleberry2740]

Machida was the best at one point completely underrated fighter who flew under that radar by most casual fans. Only real fans knew how good machida was.

[@HandsomeBastard]

Exactly. Just you and me, nobody else knew. Some people actually thought he's imaginary.

[@jonathanbradley4896]

It took the last flash of prime Shogun to derail him, and those were epic fights. The first fight between Machida and Shogun is to this day one of the most technical striking matches in MMA history.

[@TheLastOG88]

Only real fans know Jon Jones obliterated that division like none of them were any good. Can't claim lyoto is that good.

[@bongdon9288]

​@@TheLastOG88lyoto was like natural middleweight though

[@JeevanSuresh-ci4sw]

​@@TheLastOG88 exactly bruh. Loyoto is a legend of the sport but i gotta say he is massively overrated by fans mainly because of the machida era. He won the belt, then had an extremely controverisal fight in his first defense and then got knocked out by the same guy. He was just a normal fighter after thag

[@WR_CTorch]

Lyoto was always one of my favorite fighters to watch. Such a unique style in the ring.

[@SourPlanet]

I love how Henderson's face looks like he just got out of a fight as he heads into a fight.

Machida was untouchable at one point in his career.

[@RIVALContentJammerz]

Decision fighter. Sho Gun was a legit loss, shortly after when losing a bullshit decision to Quentin Jackson (Even Jackson said so), Lyoto lost his edge. I'm sure not above that, but maybe metaphorically can learn from it.

[@clinttorres2508]

Yep, unorthodox style n hard to hit

[@JesseStevenTrumm3992]

And then he fought a legitimate wrestler and got turned into a dead body

[@ericbowers1471]

Definitely had one of the more awkward styles to prepare for and everyone thought he was gonna have a long reign as champion till he fought Shogun and idc what anyone says he lost that first fight to shogun

[@private9207]

@Twice is the Worst Girl Group He is definitely not overrated, and I don't give out compliments in MMA to many.

[@zeke5989]

I swear Machida's arsenal shrank when he went to MW. Gone were those counter knees and knees from the Thai clinch. And he rarely, if ever, tried to take guys down either. That guy was a beast at LHW tho. Second favorite fighter ever.

Yes it could be but if we ask a Marcial Artist will tell us what is the real essence, showing style you show talent. By the way there's a difference between a figther and a Martial Artist. Guys who finishes quickly opponents they don't care about style,honor,or good performance for the crowd.

If machida would have worked on his boxing he would have been unstoppable. So many opportunities for counters off his back foot

[@robertdecker146]

Machida had good solid standup abilities all around, including straight on boxing, and especially the kung-fu kickboxing stuff. His real only true weakness was having only mediocre grappling abilities, and that's why he was beaten by Jon Jones.

[@vv-pr4ql]

@@robertdecker146 he was a bjj black belt and is up there with Jose Aldo as the best takedown defense artist. He lost to Jon jones for the same reason everybody loses to jones… 🐐

[@vv-pr4ql]

He had zero boxing though. It’s what made him hard to figure out because nobody before him brought such a straight forward karate style. Find me a machida highlight where he stays in the pocket and throws a multiple punch combo with hooks and uppercuts. Like a Dustin poreir or petr yan.

[@Spiritof_76]

@@vv-pr4ql That's how people get knocked out, too. Machida's style is to strike and get out, and only stay in tight to grapple, throw, or finish an injured opponent.

@@Dankelheit Many times? What were you watching? He caught him with a head kick several times and they weren't always clean. It was close that's why it was a split. Machida won the first it was close until that trip ontop won him that round because you could have had it either way.. Second was all Hendo but there wasn't much action of anything that was hugely significant. Third was super close it was back and fourth but Machida landed cleaner shot's. Now they scored it a split it was more of a draw. Machida just about let this slip away because he wouldn't engage and Hendo was trying to blast him and was way more aggressive. One big right hand from Hendo would have changed the outcome not a KO either.
