About to return to the octagon in the co-main fight of UFC Rio 4, the Brazilian Lyoto Machida demonstrated confidence in a good presentation in front of Phil Davis next Saturday (3). In an interview with the official Ultimate website, Lyoto indicated that his stand-up game could be the key to a victory against wrestler North American.
“I feel very comfortable striking. I fought many wrestlers, I know how to deal with them. So I feel very confident. The striking will be my difference in this fight”, said the former light heavyweight champion.
Next Saturday, August 3rd, Rio de Janeiro will host an edition of Ultimate for the fourth time. UFC 163, which takes place on HSBC Sand, has a card full of Brazilians – with at least one athlete from the country in each of the event's 12 fights. In the main fight of the night, the featherweight champion José Aldo face the “Korean zombie” Jung Chang-Sung.
