Machida is much better striker than Wonderboy.

The hype is just fucking ridiculous right now.

 

[Death By Samson]

Neither guy would throw the first strike. It would be a boring fight with 2 guys backpedaling.

 

[joeyjoejoe]

Machida via piss fueled Katate prowess that make LW Wonderboy look like just a boy.

 

[original doom]

Wondeyboy levels Machida.

 

[Hideo]

Even if you wrongly assume the stand-up would be even, Machida is a much larger/stronger man in any clinch/grappling situation. Machida wins this wherever it goes.

 

[DanaWhitesButler]

Machida with size. He's more proven as well. Come on guys. Wonderboy is a pleasure to watch and has potential, but he doesn't have Machida's resume. Show some respect.

 

[Rod Farva]

Neither. They wouldn't get within 10 feet of one another

 

[Sampsonsimpson]

Machida takes it by stoppage.

 

[ExitLUPin]

Wonderboy is a better striker than Lyoto ever was, specially offensively and hes better on defense, actually moves his head in the pocket.

But Lyotos size might see him get a very close decision. Hed have an advantage in the clinch but in the standup hed lose on points.

Itd be a boring fight tho. Two counter fighters fighting never turns out exciting.

 

[Paradigm]

Machida is bigger than Wonderboy...would be interesting to have seen it though. Probably a boring fight though, as others have mentioned due to their styles.

 

[GearSolidMetal]

Honestly, this is a match-up that couldn't be analyzed within a few sentences or paragraphs.

Each has advantages in which the other does not, but with similar styles.

 

[cincyjits]

Lyoto's experience in sumo gives him the edge in this fight.

Brock Lesnar vs Gsp in a boxing match who would win? nobody knows nobody care

LoL just LoL

Wondeyboy levels Machida.

Lol Machida takes Wonderbreads lunch money, pantses him, dumps his books, and shoves him inside a locker.


Get with the program bro.

 

[Torrid]

I think if Machida decided to work for trips, that he's tricky enough to get him down. He was able to control much stronger guys than Wonderboy on top, so I assume he'd keep it there.

 

[johncola]

I'd favor Wonderboy. But I don't know. I'd need to read some striking experts' analyses of this one, and put my faith in them.

 

[Huligani]

Wonderboy wins the karate match or any kickboxing match.

 

[Peteyandjia]

Machida would crush.
