Or do you tihnk they like who is popular at the moment ?

First it was Tito when he was champ.

Then it was Chuck when he was champ.

Now its Machida cus he's the champ.

People are fair weather fans.

Plus as I said Machida has a good story that people get behind.
....did someone get blackballed or didn't they have fraternities at the community college you attended

Tito and Chuck define what I hate about MMA: bad tattoos, bad attitudes, excuses on excuses for losses(in Tito's case), and just poor technical skill in striking. Machida acts with class and respect, plus he's a very good fighter what's not to like?
Yeah not a big fan of tito or chuck either but I will watch them fight coz they always seem to have exciting fights. I think Machida is a good fighter but its only because his new style is unheard of in MMA, people will figure him out eventually. I did karate for 8 yrs and I see a lot of weaknesses in Machida. He leans back a lot which makes him quite vulnerable against somebody taller or anyone who manages to hit him while leaning and hes strictly a counter puncher...this is what karate teaches you. Counter counter counter counter, I took up boxing when I took a short break from competetive karate and then came back and punched the shit out of them coz of their flaws. So if I can see flaws in Machida just wait until somebody good sees flaws in him
