Why Lyoto Machida is a sure thing over Chris Weidman

[eseseses681]

Today's the fourth of July and the day before Chris Weidman's second title defense. Chris, being the true-blue American that he is, isn't going to miss out on all the food-wise festivities that comes with this holiday. Apple pie, ribs, hanksboigers, you name it, Chris is going to indulge in it, especially after he just cut weight and feels the need to feed. After two straight months of eating nothing but lean foods, this's going to completely screw up Weidman's body. It's common knowledge among weight-cutters that eating bad food right after you cut weight screws up your body; it results in the fighter being lethargic and sick right before the fight, affecting everything from their cardio to their power to their durability to their heart. It essentially reduces the body to the state it would be in if you'd taken the fight on a week's notice with no training. Try this out for yourself; cut out all (non-natural) sugars from your diet for a month, then binge out on them for a day. You'll probably feel like you've come down with a fever later that day. Chris' patriotism is also gonna lead to him being incapable of overcoming this need to feast. This isn't just a theory, either; Chris has lost every wrestling match he's ever had that took place after the fourth of July for this same reason. Coincidence? I think not.

Lyoto Machida, however, being the staunch Brazilian that he is, isn't going to feel anywhere close to the same patriotic desire to feast, so he's going to stick to the same lean diet he's been on for the past months and will be as fit as he's ever been. Machida's victory is assured because of this; it's a healthy Machida vs. a dietarily-sick Chris Weidman. The best result Chris can hope for is a split decision loss cuz' one of the judges questionably gave him the fight.

Break that shit into paragraphs monica.

 

[faustian]

tbh this is probably the most convincing argument for Machida I've seen at this point

 

[The Swirl]

Weidman is a professional. He isn't going to splurge the day before an important fight.

If he loses, it'll be because Machida is a tough fight for anyone, not because of his diet.

This thread is kinda informative.

Wow. Please link me to all his losses right after the fourth of july in his wrestling career. And as a bonus what he ate on his cheat day. I'm totally fascinated by your analysis.

Anderson fans are way more irrational on Machida's nuts

 

[Count Zero]

Where's the pic of recovering Weidman in the chair with all the food ? Couldn't find it.

 

[RepairManManMan]

Those potato chip bowls are killers. I agree but I think we have to add in the possibility that Machida's presence in America might leave Him susceptible to trying a few burgers...

Well I am sure there are 364 days after July 4 and I am pretty certain Weidman has a few loses and I dont believe any of them are on July 4th so if you add all that up then TS is correct.

As to what he ate I believe he had some BBQ and some sodas or protein shakes.

 

[Toxxus]

staunch Brazilian

Riiiight... that's like touchy feely Republicans or Democrats that don't want to raise taxes.

Aka - mythological.

 

[DrMontello]

if Machida wins you have completely discredited his win anyway and it would be in Dana's words...a farce.

It's not as strong as the astrology argument.

 

[Rex Kwon Do]

Machida may not have gorged on BBQ, but it sounds like he slept naked in an igloo last night. His voice is hoarse as fuck. Dude sounds like he has the flu.

Machida fans be panicking.

 

[Deleroux]

Machida via acid reflux, heartburn, and hangover?

 

[TheRassler]

Chris "The Fluke" Weidman can't have lightning strike for him 3 times in a row, it's unlikely.

I got $20 on machida at +160.

How do you figure fluke?
In the first fight Chris threw a punch aimed at Silva's face. It landed square on the chin. All she wrote.
Fight two Chris was more than handling Silva in the clinch and had his timing in the stand up. The leg break happened because Chris timed and checked the kick perfectly.

I was rooting for Silva to win the second fight, but I'm satisfied now that he can't beat Weidman.
I really don't think Machida can either. I think Weidman's wrestling will be a huge problem for him. Jones and Davis may be a different weight class, but they did both beat him and Chris is definitely better than Phil Davis.
