      Almost as iconic as when Jon jones thought about killing machida but at the last second remembered he was a Christian and let go of the choke….and machida fell over. And Jon jones walked away. Nasty.

      Totally agree. When you put somebody's lights out, show some respect and decency and don't prance around like an asshole. Machida never once acted like a goon no matter what. Anybody who sets foot into that octagon deserves that basic respect win or lose.

    Crane technique. “If do right, no can defense.” 😎

      No shit! Sensei Seagal is an amazing teacher. Same kick worked against the same guy - against two different fighters. I wish they would've done a season of TUF that had Sensei Seagal as the coach of one of the teams. Shit, he could've coached both teams to double the awesomeness.

    One strike. Knows he’s knocked. Bows like a true warrior. No need for smashing the guy when he’s down and unable to protect himself. I value that level of martial ability.
