Cats get suckered into allowing Machida to keep his distance and that's where he finds his openings. I'd love to see someone just rush him and see what happens. Didn't Sokoudjou do this with some success but gas later?
Kinda like Anderson Silva. It looks like the first minute of the fight, he moves around just to see how his opponent is moving based on his movement. Then when he's comfortable, he 'sits down' and fights. I'd like to see how he handles getting rushed from the opening bell.
Machida looks boring when he's not getting those openings because he rarely initiates the engagement (from what I've seen). Also, I think he depends on that leap in with the straight left too much.
