Special

In March of 2007, when Lyoto debuted with victory in the UFC, completing eight fights unbeaten, we went to Belém and dedicated our Paredão to the Samurai of the Amazon, who, already at that time, warned: "I’m arriving to fight for the title and achieve my dream to be world champion". A lot doubt, after all, in a sport of high performance as the MMA, it may seem strange to conceive that the most disputed category will have as champion a fighter that do everything in so antagonist way to all other tops - Lyoto trains with his father and brothers in a small gym in Belém, instead of seek for high level sparrings in the big training centers; instead of taking nutritional supplements, he takes açaí and urine and instead of practicing Boxing and Muay Thai, he trains Caratê, a method that has never had its efficiency proven in MMA, so far.


Just over two years of the publication of this report, Lyoto Machida was able to shut the few who still doubted of his style and his philosophy when he won his 15th consecutive victory, applying a fulminate knockout in the unbeaten champion Rashad Evans, ensuring the most coveted belt in the world and the realization of his greatest dream.

To better understand who is the man who is breaking several MMA paradigms, the TATAME returned to Belém and, for three days, followed closely Lyoto’s routine. We recorded his trainings, talk with his family, know his friends, his habits and spend an afternoon with his father. The result of this real dossier, you check at the following report.
