Watch Lyoto Machida Demolish Mark Munoz At UFC Fight Night 30

Lyoto Machida is set for his second UFC Middleweight bout, as he headlines UFC Fight Night 36 against former Strikeforce 205 boss Gegard Mousasi. ‘The Dreamcatcher’ made a successful promotional debut against Ilir Latifi in mid 2013, and will look to add the former UFC LHW champ to his impressive record.

Ahead of ‘The Dragon’s’ 185lb. debut against Mark Munoz at UFC Fight Night in October 2013, he had received criticism for cagey performances at light-heavyweight. Defensive displays against Dan Henderson and Phil Davis had earned the former champ some hit-and-miss performances, and the word was that Machida had reinvented himself for his drop to MW.

What transpired was equally brutal and beautiful. Check out the video below, courtesy of UFC.com, and stay tuned to Lowkick.com!
