With his third career "Knockout of the Night" win at this past weekend's UFC 129 event, former UFC light heavyweight champion Lyoto Machida reversed a trend of recent defeats that had many MMA observers questioning his viability as a current UFC contender.The leaping front kick finish that appeared part Anderson Silva, part "Karate Kid," led Randy Couture to call it a career - not to mention schedule a dental appointment to replace a few incisors.
Following the win, Machida admitted the pressure was on heading into the fight. Now he's hoping to use a refined approach to training (as well as Steven Seagal's advice) to make it back to the top.
