Lyoto Machida will defend, for the first time his UFC title on October 24. Ready to face Maurício “Shogun“ Rua, the karate fighter spoke with TATAME.com and reveled that he has more than one strategy for the combat. “The strategy is a secret... We have a plan A, B and C... It’ll depend of how the fight goes. I have plans to get off from any situation“, the champion guaranteed, without thinking about the glorious past of the former Pride champion.

“I’m not thinking about what Shogun already done, I’m concentrated on what I can do. I know he was the Pride champion and I’m the UFC champion, but it won’t give me any advantage, it won’t give me one round“, said Machida. In exclusive interview, Lyoto commented Vitor Belfort’s karate training, the fight between the “Phenom” and Anderson Silva, Thiago Silva’s knockout over Keith Jardine and more. Stay tuned!
