Back in prime Machida days, nobody could work him out - his elusiveness, countering.

I think Wonderboy might be the new prime Machida 2.0
 
Wonderboy is actually active. Machida was just elusive and boring.
 
Very similar, but Wonderboy is definitely more active offensively. He also has much more of an advantage than Machida ever did because he is actually pretty big for his division and gets to utilize a reach advantage with all of his other gifts.

This, Machida was way to pasive in his fight style, it was either a ko or a boring fight. Even when Wonderboy didn't finish Rory, he landed a lot and made Rory's face a mess
 
History always repeats itself.

ALL of this was said during the first incarnation of Machida...
 
MMA fans have short term memory.
They forget how great prime Machida was, wonderboy is incredible though
 
Hopefully joe rogan doesnt welcome us to the wonderboy era. If so, it will be short lived.

But the first incarnation of machida didn't show anywhere near the finishing ability that Wonderboy has.
 
Wonderboy is much more active, offensive and also with more variety in his attacks
