August 27, 2008 · Filed Under 89, Quotes, UFC · 1 Comment 

“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.”

Lyoto Machida will be taking on Thiago Silva this October 18th at UFC 89 in Birmingham, England. Machida claims that the fight will not go the distance. Both fighters are currently undefeated each with 13 wins. Lyoto Machida is not really known for his ability to end fights only 5 have ended premature.
