I totally agree. I love watching his precision with everything he does. No one called Ali a wuss for being an evasive fighter, its just a style. And again, after every fight he looks like he got home from a jog, not fighting in a cage match.

People can say what they want, but his opposition has only gotten better, and so has he. I think he could be the future #1 LHW.
Glad someone agrees. I don't know,he looks so cool and relaxed in there! The only style I can see giving him difficulties is a wild Shogun style,non stop 24/7. I want to see Machia fight at a pace he hasn't done so or at a pace which he is not controlling. A terrific fighter though.He schools Ortiz imo.
