Seven-time karate champion João Gilherme Bendly, was responsible for mimicking Lyoto Machida’s fighting style as a sparring partner for Shogun Rua. In an interview with www.Tatame.com, Bendly stated the following. I memorized Lyoto from the top to the bottom so that I can impose myself in front of Shogun, simply because what he required was the karates timing, the defense methods of Lyoto. This timing is different and demands years of practice in Karate and thats exactly what he needs. I adapted my game to Lyotos and did what he does in front of Shogun to do this specific training.” I think that Lyoto wont alter much his style simply because its been working very nicely for him. You cant alter ten years of practice in four months. I guess he will still be defensive since hes truly great at it, counter attacking. He might work on this timing and be more prepared just as Shogun. But I think Shogun will win.” “I think it will be like the final fight, the kicks from Shogun are certain and I think this fight will be aggressive, rather than the prior 1.” Here’s some of the footage. www.evolucaothai.com www.mmaxl.com
