“I believe this fight won’t go to decision…. Thiago likes to fight aggressively, me too, he has good MMA techniques, so I believe this fight might finish before the third round. I’m training a lot, actually I hadn’t stop training since my last fight. Now I’m doing a specifically training focused on Thiago, preparing my strategies and working on the physical preparation.… I’m very focused.”

    I hoping Thiago can pull this one off and i dont know how Machida can say hes aggressive thats bullshit hes more of a counter fighter, keeping the distance till he gets his oppurtunity. But i do think it is going to finish before the 3rd just not becuase of Lyoto Machida more because of Thiago.
