I'm biased, as I'm a friend and former training partner of Machado, and I saw him go through serious preparation and a good camp in Brazil and Holland at Hemmers gym for this fight, but he is lightyears ahead of Duut, and could have knocked him out if he wanted to, but really had to secure a win to be able to fight in Glory again. He doesn't have Pereira's power, but is one of the hardest kickers I've met.
On the other hand, I don't understand they made Duut face him instead, as the Dutch would rather see their own countryman win. Instead he got a fight he couldn't have won. They should have found him another slugger that isn't very technical.
