The Machida kick was good as it would have been very hard to see that coming, rather than GSP thinking hes Jean Claude Van Damme with the theatrical kicks that do nothing.
I saw a clip on Van Damme at some expo and he is explaining to people that in boxing you have the jab and straight right hand and that the big looping punches rairly land so why not use straight kicks from your front leg like a jab. Thats exactly what
Machida did.
