TORONTO – A lifetime practitioner of traditional martial arts, former
UFC champion Lyoto Machida has followed the modern
incarnation of MMA since its 1993 inception.
As with anyone who’s done the same, Machida has observed and admired the
career of UFC Hall of Famer Randy Couture from
the very beginning.
At Saturday’s historic UFC 129 event, Machida will put personal
adulation aside and take on “The Natural” in a pivotal main-card matchup
“The Dragon” hopes will snap a two-fight losing streak and restore him
to the upper echelon of the UFC’s 205-pound division.

With pressure gone, WEC 50′s Chad Mendes honored to fight Cub Swanson
WEC featherweight Chad Mendes has been considered one

the Team Alpha Male fighter insists the pressure of living up to those
expectations has never weighed heavy on him.
Well, until his WEC debut.
But after racking up victories over Erik Koch and Anthony Morrison under
the WEC banner, Mendes now preps for a WEC 51 bout with an always-tough

there, Mendes says the pressure isn’t.
