Epic FotY candidate here. Slice had the slight advantage early, being that he was tough and he was landing shots on Machida. But Machida hit him with a wild kick that hurt him and set him back a bit. Then he came back the next round, doing big damage on Machida, taking control of the fight. Until Machida landed not 2-3 kicks, but about 10 in rapid succession. That messed Kimbo up big time, and he had to storm through that and try to come back into the fight. And he did. Despite being really low on health, he smacked Lyoto around quite a bit and pretty much evened the health meters heading into the 4th. From there, Machida landed first once the fight resumed, and that was pretty much it. 2 warriors went to town in a damage-fest. You can't ask for anything more.
Kimbo Slice looks very relaxed.

Epic FotY candidate here. Slice had the slight advantage early, being that he was tough and he was landing shots on Machida. But Machida hit him with a wild kick that hurt him and set him back a bit. Then he came back the next round, doing big damage on Machida, taking control of the fight. Until Machida landed not 2-3 kicks, but about 10 in rapid succession. That messed Kimbo up big time, and he had to storm through that and try to come back into the fight. And he did. Despite being really low on health, he smacked Lyoto around quite a bit and pretty much evened the health meters heading into the 4th. From there, Machida landed first once the fight resumed, and that was pretty much it. 2 warriors went to town in a damage-fest. You can't ask for anything more.
