Lyoto Machida Tribute
The New UFC LHW Champion of the World...Lyoto Machida!
Machida vs Evans HL by Machinemen
Fwd to @ 5:00 to get to the fight HL.
The rest is good, but its just build up.
Machinemen has a habit of dragging out the buildup far too long in his vids.
Another Machida x Evans HL
Rashad eats his words.
Dana White post-fight comments
Highlights: It's the Lyoto Machida Era...He might be the most talented fighter on the planet...In the whole fight Rashad hit him twice...We ran stats on Machida and he's the least hit fighter in MMA history...
Dana White on Machida. Interview from Dec 2008.
He said Machida could be the best p4p fighter in the world once he feels comfortable in the octagon. I also knew it was a matter of time before he was champ: Machida's skill and strategy are undeniable. Also, Dana has some good points about the fight w/ Tito: the karate guy couldn't be taken down by the wrestler; in fact, the karate guy manhandled the wrestler during tie-ups.
Machida training for UFC 98
Looks like the plyometric training paid off (3:04); he had explosiveness in this fight that was previously lacking. The training with the olympic judo champ (0:54) and muay thai guy (2:41) was prbly pretty helpufl too. :)

Another Machida highlight I enjoy. By thedrinkableone.
I've posted it here before.
World Champion
Some people think the mma fight game came full circle when stand-up strikers who learned a little grappling began to dominate the pure bjj stylists. The bjj stylists, in turn, totally owned early mma history by one-sidedly finishing reps from all other styles, including traditional martial arts such as karate. I would argue that the game has only now come full circle: now that a karateka is the new UFC champion, and possibly the best p4p fighter in the world, and got there by time and again imposing his will on opponents by using a style that had become somewhat of a joke in mma circles - karate.

Star Trek 2009
I never got into Star Trek, though I'm not exactly sure why. Maybe it had something to do with the 1-hr commitment needed to watch each episode. That may have been part of it, but there must be more. I've always enjoyed getting lost in a good story, regardless of time commitment.
Maybe it was because Star Trek was always low on action and special fx, and what little there was was always cheesy. Also, dialogue far exceeded action. Not that I dislike dialogue. In fact, I've always loved good dialogue. Similarly, cheese can be good. But it's the action that would have drawn me in to anything sci-fi: lasers, gadgets, creatures, missions, wars, stuff like that.
Truth be told, it's probably all of the above and more. But who cares.
What's important is Star Trek XI is fucking cool. I was able to follow despite my limited Star Trek knowledge. I learned some cool shit about the characters and some of their origins. For example, I didn't know Spock was half human. I also saw that the cadets that went on to become the original crew were baptized by fire. This movie made me an instant fan of all The Original Series (TOS) stuff I had always missed out on. Though admittedly, I wouldn't know if anything was inconsistent with the TV storyline since I'm not familiar with it, for one, and for another, there was the whole time travelling alternate realities thing going on.
Star Trek 2009: Good stuff.
