machida didnt need gnp and look like he threw a atomic bomb at him

 

[Blossom's Hat]

Machida's. How is this even a question?

 

[Gilday]

Machida since it was a clean KO, but the Vitor that Silva KO'ed was a different animal

 

[pride_is_back]

As much as I hate Silva, at least he KO prime Vitor.

 

[Deleted member 220895]

I can't tell ther difference, even in the fall.

 

[Dozer .]

Silva KOd prime Belfort. Machida did not.

 

[Da Boss]

Lyoto

 

[johnmangala]

Anderson's looks better with the delivery.

But Machida based on damage and effectiveness.

imo.

Both impressive and legendary but il always pick papa machida

Lyoto's was a much cleaner knockout, but Anderson fought Vitor is his prime and on the juice

 

[chinarice]

Machida's KO was one of the most boss KOs I have ever seen in MMA.

 

[Bear Faced Liar]

Machida. The way he set it up was quite clever. He was throwing multiple front kicks with his leading right foot in the first round. Right before the KO, he feinted by twitching the right foot and BAM got Belfort with his rear left foot instead.

Also, the hands-on-the-hips pose instead of rushing over to finish Belfort was pretty boss.

Machida's looked better aesthetically (hands on hips badass ending). Andersons was more important historically and came against a better version of Vitor.

The one on Couture is still the GOAT Front Kick KO though IMO.

 

[Hotora86]

Machida all the way! Front kick master!

Former UFC champ Belfort?
FRONT KICK KO!

Former UFC champ Couture?
FRONT KICK KO!

Future UFC champ Franklin?
FRONT KICK (+ punch) KO!

No wonder, the Machida Karate logo is a front kick itself!

Anderson's kick would have slept low t dad bod Vitor.

Also gotta give props for innovation. When Andy did it that kick did not really exist in MMA.

Nasty nasty KO for Lyoto though. Will look nice on his highlight reel.

 

[Head Movement]

Lyoto, Vitor was out before he even hit the ground. With that said, Anderson's kick is way more impressive.

Lyoto.

The setup was amazing...he just waved his hands in a weird way to distract em and ko'ed em asap....he fell like a sack of potatoes.
