If Lyoto Machida’s game appears indecipherable to the opponents, the responsible for that is Yoshizo Machida. Master and father of the champion, the Japanese is the man behind the preparation of the light heavyweight king of the UFC, undefeated after 15 fights. In interview to TATAME.com, Yoshizo spoke about the fight against Rashad Evans, in UFC 98, and the emotion with the conquest, knowing that the big challenge is just beginning.

 

"Now is the most difficult. Half was happy, half has to take care, because we have to keep this belt. He is already scheduled to train, because I think the next fight is already scheduled for October", said Yoshizo, commenting about the possible fight against the also Brazilian Mauricio "Shogun". "It's a very good opponent, so it’s good for Lyoto. It can be against anyone, we aren’t worried about the opponent. Our training is a little different from the other people".
