One step at a time. This is how Lyoto Machida thinks about regaining the chance to fight for the UFC light heavyweight belt. At the UFC 157 press conference, held this Thursday (21), the Brazilian guarantees that his thoughts are only on the fight against Dan Henderson. According to him, a possible rematch against Jon Jones, current champion of the category and his tormentor at UFC 140, still doesn't cross his mind.
“I would definitely change some things in my game (in the event of a rematch with Jones), but it's difficult to say because he's not my next step. I'm focused on fighting the Dan Henderson”, stated the Brazilian. Machida also commented on the change in his fighting style and training for UFC 157
“I’m always trying to improve. I trained with some guys who have a similar game to Dan Henderson. I hope to win and then think about the future”, added the Brazilian.
UFC 157 takes place next Saturday (23), in Anaheim, California. The event's main attraction will be the first women's fight in the organization's history, where Ronda Rousey and Liz Carmouche.
