| Video Discription | #ufc #mma #lyotomachida #combatsports #martialarts #ko #fights #punch #kickboxing In the co-main event of UFC 94, Machida faced fellow undefeated Brazilian contender Thiago Silva. The two were originally scheduled to meet at UFC 89, but a back injury forced Silva to withdraw from the contest. UFC President Dana White indicated in the pre-fight press conference that Machida would receive a title shot with a victory, while Silva would need to defeat Machida and win one more contest before earning the same opportunity. Lyoto Machida versus Thiago Silva, marked one of the first times in UFC history that two undefeated fighters had faced one another in a main or co-main event slot. The winner of the fight would earn a light heavyweight title shot against then-champion “Sugar” Rashad Evans. Heading into the fight, odds makers pegged Machida as a moderate favorite. With his unorthodox Karate style, some thought him too elusive for the aggressive but slower Silva. Silva, by contrast, needed to use his aggression to push the pace, create scrambles and turn things into a dogfight. The ground game was something of an x-factor, as fans were unsure which of the two BJJ black belts would operate better on the Octagon mat. As events unfolded, there was little time spent down there. As is his habit, Machida started out cautiously. He threw a wide variety of range-finding strikes at his opponent. Silva, unperturbed, waded through the majority of these strikes with little difficulty. By coming forward so aggressively, he planned on backing Machida into a corner and putting the pressure on the elusive contender. But as the round unfolded, Silva became increasingly predictable to Machida. On two occasions during the first round, Machida rocked and dropped Silva with straight punches as he was coming in. Machida was too fast and his timing was too sharp for Silva. With a few seconds remaining in the opening round, Machida pushed a clinching Silva away from him against the cage and dropped him with a straight punch down the middle. Machida then dropped down onto Silva just before the bell rang, and knocked him out cold with a follow-up shot. The knockout was so sudden and so unexpected that many fans did not even realize the fight was over until the in-cage celebration began. |
