from Enter the Dragon
This ain't about Dana White's
Armed Forces Foundation Humanitarian Award
This is about the way
UFC light heavyweight champion Lyoto Machida fights
As brutally as The Dragon knocked out Rashad Evans
As brutally as he knocked out Thiago Silva before that
Machida's way of fighting
Is the most humane way of fighting in the cage
From the footwork The Dragon uses
To evade his opponents
From the way he refuses
To get bogged down in the clinch
From his balance
To his takedown defense
To his ability to go for the jugular
And even his occasional jiu-jitsu submission
They are all part of
His hit-and-run game
That, by coincidence or not,
Protects himself and his opponent
"Let's not pretend it's a punch.
Let's pretend it's a sword.
If you would have been hit by the sword,
You'd be dead."
Those are words of wisdom
Once said by Yoshizo Machida
The Senior Dragon
The 5-6 Japanese Shotokan Master
Who devised a fighting method
Heavy on footwork and evasion
And a strength to crush the spirit
To defeat taller opponents
If you can't use
Bruce Lee's Art of Fighting
Without Fighting
And have no choice to fight
The Machida Family's
Art of Humane Fighting
Is the Way
To Fight.
