Lyoto Machida of Brazil knocked out Rashad Evans at UFC 98 to become the new light heavyweight champion. It was hard to distinguish the first round from ABC’s “Dancing with the Stars”, but in the second round Machida got busy and dropped Evans at 3:57 in the second round. Watch the video for the devastating knock out.
Rashad Evans was a helluva champ, but it’s time to praise the new King of the Octagon in the light heavyweight division, Lyoto Machida.




Machida brings not only a top level of martial arts skill sets, but he also carries the focused mental approach that Samurai warriors once carried – never be too eager to win, and when the opportunity presents itself, strike with full force. He must have gotten that from his father who is Japanese.
…da fuck wuz dat?? rashad shoulda wooped da fuck outta machida. machida is a lil prancin round backwardz bitch.
Ok datboy what da fuck is up with your english. Maybe if you learned to read and write you would be intelligent enough to realise that Machida proved to be the better fighter. Maybe instead of reppin your boy you should watch the fight again and see that that “backwardz bitch” pranced his way to a ko victory. Evans was asleep buddy this was not a decision a win by ko cannot be argued.
Rashad got punked like a lil beyotch. Machida is the real deal, and is gonna make mad skrilla, Homeboy is a thrilla not from Manila, but Brazil ,yo.
Rashad laid down like a $2 dolla ho. Just like RICKY hatton, he was out before he hi the flo, ho.
PHAT PROPS to MACHIDA, you will reign for a long time. KARATE is back !!!!!! Trivia , there are more Japanese people in Brazil than in any country outside of Japan. Lyoto Machida has a Japanese father. MAD respect to karate, Japan,,and all Brasilenos !!
rashad got knocked out easy by a way better fighter machida i dont think anyone is going to be lyoto anytime soon
Knocked out cold. The better man won! Rashad is not that fun to watch anyways.
I knew Machida would whoop that ass! Rashad beat a predictable Chuck Liddel and Forrest what was up with that guard. Rashad should have never been there at the top, let alone braggin and titty shakin. Although I thought I did see him do a bit of titty shakin on the way down to the floor. Machida well deserved worked his life for that opportunity. This fight goes to show you why Rashad was always the underdog.
FUCK RASHAD EVANS. I was so sick of seeing his lucky ass knockouts. His standup is pathetic. He just bounces around like a fucking monkey, and animals often get put to sleep. Machida is the all around better fighter and they should give him more respect than anyone in the sport for being such a respectful and intelligent fighter. He is elusive and that is why Evans bitch ass couldn’t even land a hit on him. so FUCK you rashad evans fans. He’s a punk and he never deserved that title. Kudos to the better man
datboy doesnt know shit about mma talking bout how lyoto machida is a lil prancin round backwardz bitch… its called skill homeboy and he is very illusive thats why he is the least hit fighter in UFC HISTORY so u got no room to talk dude cuz look who has the belt now and hes probably gon keep tht belt for a good little while.
After all these years of mma fans (like me) making fun of karate, it looks like the joke is on us. Who knew that Daniel LaRusso was right all along ?
But in truth, karate mixed with bjj seems to be the winning ticket.
Congratulations Lyoto Machida – you just made Japan, Brazil, karate, bjj, and mma very proud !
Machida is by far the best light heavyweight..hopefully he is still fighting by the time I make it there so I can fight him.
It shows a lot about the character of Lyoto Machida vs Rashad Evans. Lyoto shows humility and respect after his victories. Both are virtues that are not found in the way Rashad celebrates his victories. He looked foolish after beating Iceman dancing around holding his chest like someone from DA SKREET! He got what he deserved! Schooled by a better fighter! Its no wonder all the thugs like Rashad its because they relate to him since they have none of the true virtues of a martial artist.It is what it be! And dat be trueba fatba ALbert. I B on da corner wid my ho’s smokin wy weed and drinkin Gin and Juice!
Where am I? He got knocked out by who? Was I asleep that long?
Keep shakin those titties Rashad. Greg Jackson wants another crack at Machida LOL. Jackson does not want to give away Machida’s secret win recipe. Please Greg da boy has been kickin coconuts since he was 3. Machida has skill, he just dont get in the cage willing to trade blows he waits for opportunity and he hits with power just ask Rich Franklin, Thiago Silva and Mr. Tittie shaker himself. Machida man handled punk ass Tito Ortiz. Tito is a punk and Machida will be at the top for a long time. Finally someone had to come in and show these punk bad asses that their not so bad after all.
MACHIDA GETS KO’D BY SHOGUN LOL THE MACHIDA ERA MY ASS MACHIDA ERROR IS MORE LIKE IT LMAO KARATE IS SHIT MUAY THAI OWNS. MACHIDA WILL NEVER HAVE THE BELT AGAIN.
