"When you push him, he always moves to the same side. "

This is probably the part of that statement to be focused on. Not the number of weapons. Number of attacks only matters because it makes you harder to defend against. Predictability in movement gets you killed.

I think a lot of you are missing the point. And he even admitted "I'm gonna get a lot of heat now." heh.

MMA is becoming like rap beef, everybody is always talking shit in hopes of somebody else paying attention.

I love Bas but this seems to be correct. Phone Post

ajl416az - machida consistently:
-doesn't throw hooks
-only jumps in and out because he refuses to stay in the pocket

so yes, even though he moves well and is quite good, he does limit himself in terms of what he throws and how he throws

That's what I got from it as well. At first glance it might sound ridiculous but there is some truth to what Bas is saying. In terms of what he throws, when he throws, his movements, etc, it's stuff that can be picked up on

If Dan can figure out that puzzle, he's got this fight in the bag. Machida is good, but Dan is better. Phone Post

I think it's a superficial statement and those who think that end up getting knocked out.

Dirty Harry didn't have many weapons either.
 
In fact, he had only one.
 
A .44 Magnum.
 
And it will blow your head clean off.

"Machida has a repetitive style".


Dan is always so inventive and uncoventional himself.

Barrel straight ahead, haymaker, lather rinse repeat.


This shit goes both ways.

You're right Bas.

Machida has no power in his hands

It's just his counter right that's effective.  That's it.

Well he can't finish you when he has you hurt.

But he's limited to his hands.  No striking ability besides that.

Lucky kick, plus - kicks and punches don't make you a well rounded striker.  

Please.  His knees don't do any damage.

 

Being a good striker doesn't mean you have a lot of weapons.  He has no way to get the fight to the floor.

That's just a gimmicky leg sweep.  He couldn't take down a decent wrestler.

Takedowns are cool, but he can't finish you on the ground.  No power in his GnP.

GnP is overrated.  A truly dangerous fighter has to be able to submit someone.

"Dan is the man's man. Like any guy on the planet, they love Dan because he's got a lot of heart and he always comes to fight. I always get emotional because he's really that guy. That's why I want to see him win and I think he has that chance because he knows when he lands that 'H-bomb,' it's goodnight. I'm gonna get a lot of heat now. Machida doesn't have a lot of weapons. Whatever he does, he does really well. He's got great distance, great accuracy, but his attack is always the same. It's a cross, or a kick and a cross. When you push him, he always moves to the same side. So, if Dan would look at that and just bullrush him, he could throw a big hand there and that could stop him."

In a parallel universe Bas would be saying all Dan does is throw out the half arsed leg kick to set up his big right hand. For the record that's not my opinion but that of the Bas Rutten of Earth-2. Phone Post

Unless hes willing to admit publicly that he has developed early onset dementia I've officially lost all respect for Bas based on this bullshit comment.
