With the experience of a victorious fighter, and now of a multi-role in the service of MMA, accumulating the functions of referee, manager, coach and event promoter, Carlão Barreto commented, exclusively for the website SUPER FIGHTS, the main fight of UFC-98, between Lyoto Machida e Rashad evans, which takes place this Saturday and will be valid for the Ultimate light heavyweight belt. The black belt analyzed the characteristics of each fighter and how he believes the fight will unfold
“Lyoto is a very focused athlete, after having had the opportunity to train in several gyms, having trained with many high-level fighters, today he trains very consciously, where he mixes his past experiences in other martial arts with his roots fighting. , Karate. Quick, with great speed of reasoning, Lyoto has all the qualities of a modern fighter, he knows how to navigate all situations of an MMA fight with ease.”
"Rashad evans, a fighter of small stature, more with a disturbing style, a good level wrestler, a catchy boxer. Despite being undefeated, having won TUF, beating good fighters, it still causes distrust among Americans, why? I could find a thousand reasons, but the truth is that the guy is good, he’s a tough nut to crack, he has all the merits to wear this belt”, he commented.
The Combat
“The fight between these two great fighters will be one of the most interesting fights of recent times, because although many say that they fight in a similar way, they are completely different, they just use similar strategies to deceive and surprise their opponents.
I'm betting on a fight full of strategies, where both will have to surprise to win. Our athlete from Bahia, half Japanese from Pará, but above all Brazilian, has everything it takes to become champion of the biggest event on Earth, leaving us Brazilians super proud and the Americans so full of themselves, frustrated.
Lyoto looks like a champion, he has the maturity to use this belt, I advise fighters to watch this fight and learn, for fans to enjoy a fighting spectacle, which is not just about punches and kicks and ugly faces”, concluded Carlão
