The most dangerous lion doesnt always roar

Folks,

I had a thought. And you know I hate that :) Anyhow, I just thought of something that I find rather refreshing. The source of said refreshed-ness is a man named Lyoto Machida. He is a shotokan expert who competes in mixed martial arts. Now we all know that the name of traditional martial arts has been sullied rather badly in the last 15 years or so. Some of it rightly so. Some of it is indicative of the " have it right now" attitude of Americans when it comes to achievement.

Anyhow, Lyoto is a breath of fresh air in mixed martial arts. He is humble, highly skilled, respectful, and soft spoken. But he is undefeated and has some wins over very quality opposition. MMA stylists have no answer for his elusive footwork, pinpoint accuracy and excellent defense.

Now in the spirit of true narrow-mindedness, MMA guys are looking to find something wrong that his opponents have done. They are making excuses, but Machida is logging in quality wins. And he does it without bragging. Major props Machida!! Keep winning silently, they cant duck you forever!
