Chinzo Machida is confident on Lyoto Machida at the rematch against Mauricio “Shogun” Rua for the UFC title. Talking to TATAME.com, Lyoto’s brother commented the preparation, strategy and the result of the next fight. “I believe in a knockout by Lyoto, that’s why we’re looking at”, Machida said, revealing the possibility of coming back to the MMA rings this year.
What do you expect from this rematch?
We can’t predict the fight itself, but Lyoto is more prepared than the other time, more focused on the fight, stronger. We changed the concentration on training, we don’t let a lot of people around him in training anymore, thing that had no reason to happen. We separated his training, making him more focused.
How do you think it’s gonna be this fight?
I believe in a knockout by Lyoto, that’s why we’re looking at.
How is his training?
He’s training well, doing the karate, wrestling, jiu-jitsu, a little bit of everything, besides muay thai, physical preparation… We already started the training in January, his hand is 100% now.
What did you think about the first fight?
I thought Lyoto won it, looked for the fight all the time, besides his characteristic is to counter attack. Shogun didn’t expose himself, he’s kicking Lyoto, but with few moments of definition. This rematch can start the same way, but I’m sure it’ll go a different way. Lyoto wasn’t very satisfied with the critics and Shogun wasn’t happy with the result either. It can put both to define the fight, but we’ll only know it at the fight time.Nobody wants to let it go to decision again.
And what about you? When will you fight again?
Lyoto is the main goal now. I’m part of his team and I’m getting ready. I’m a BJJ brown belt and do my karate, I’m getting ready to an opportunity, but it depends of my factors. My father is who manages his training, but I work with him all the time. I would be a problem if I decide to fight now. If I have an opportunity, I’d like to test my abilities too.
