This Saturday (16), Lyoto Machida makes his fourth fight as a middleweight and faces North American CB Dollaway in the main event of UFC Barueri. Therefore, as a warm-up for the São Paulo card, the SUPER FIGHTS remembers the “Dragon’s” debut in the 84 kg division, against the American of Filipino descent Mark Muñoz.

In October 2013, in Manchester (England), Lyoto replaced the injured Michael Bisping and faced former training partner Mark Muñoz. In the octagon, the Brazilian didn't take the length of the partnership into account and won in the first round with an overwhelming knockout, after a precise high kick that took Muñoz to the canvas.
