The second consecutive defeat of Lyoto Machida, again from ruthless manner with the knockout suffered for Yoel romero last Saturday (27), it aroused different feelings among fight fans. The current situation of one of the biggest names in Brazilian MMA, however, prompted a sincere and very concerned outburst from his mother-in-law. On her personal blog, Ray do Vale, mother of Fabyola, the fighter's wife, published a long text in which she appeals to the Dragon to put an end to his career.
“Stop now, Lyoto, go live! Lyoto has already lived his childhood dream, when he would wake up at dawn, dodging the vigilance of his peaceful and well-formed family, to watch the “telecatch” of life, dreaming of being one of those monsters who, at that time, only pretended to hit, in scenes of pseudo-violence, almost slapstick. And when he grew up, as is his nature, he ran after his child's desire. The admiration and trust I have in his integrity and nobility were the password for him to respect the path he chose. He would know when to stop. I hope it happens soon”, wrote the mother-in-law.
In another section, she went so far as to say that her son-in-law's sensitive manner does not suit the “wild” world of martial arts. Furthermore, she pointed out Machida as an exception in a universe of “anabolized” and “unethical” athletes. “I never understood his entry into this wild world, of people and values so different from those he always cultivated. Still, I always supported him, without judgment or evaluation. I hate the fight, but I love the fighter. The admiration and trust I have in his integrity and nobility were the password for him to respect the path he chose. Today, more than before, it is a world of anabolized creatures, true bundles of artificial muscles, hard and merciless like steel bars. Lyoto does not suit muscles manufactured in even slightly ethical workshops. He would never resort to shady means. His hallmark is discipline”, he fired.

STOP NOW, LYOTO! GO LIVE…
Lyoto is a noble, spiritual and sensitive soul. I never understood his entry into this wild world, of people and values so different from those he always cultivated. Still, I always supported him, without judgment or evaluation. I hate the fight, but I love the fighter. The admiration and trust I have in his integrity and nobility were the password for him to respect the path he chose. He would know when to stop. I hope it's soon!
Lyoto has already lived his childhood dream, when he would wake up at dawn, dodging the vigilance of his peaceful and well-formed family, to watch the “telecatch” of life, dreaming of being one of those monsters who, at that time, only pretended to hit, in scenes of pseudo-violence, almost slapstick. And when he grew up, as is his nature, he ran after his child's desire.
But... let me say now: Lyoto definitely doesn't fit in with this wild and bloody world, which doesn't pretend to hurt, it hurts! Ok. He has already lived the experience he wanted to live. If the universe of lethal kicks and punches has always been wild, every day it becomes more dangerous and distant from Lyoto's soul. Today, more than before, it is a world of anabolized creatures, true bundles of artificial muscles, hard and merciless like steel bars. Lyoto does not suit muscles manufactured in even slightly ethical workshops. He would never resort to shady means. His hallmark is discipline and discipline. His greatest resource is meditation and a super balanced diet, under technical guidance, and lovingly cared for by the hands of someone as disciplined as him – his wife. She does not delegate this task to anyone. Their balanced dishes come from the alchemy of unconditional love and unrestricted, almost Spartan care. How to mix the Lyoto of green juices, whole fibers, coconut oil, with those mechanical men, contemporary cyborgs?
Go live, Lyoto! You've already fulfilled your boyish wish! And he has already offered what he could to those who only admire the fighter. They only celebrate his victory. They are merciless when the tables are turned. Now take advantage of those who love man, BEING, the common citizen, who loses and wins in the games of existence, who makes mistakes and succeeds; go back to living in your playful soul, pulling off your known tasteless “pranks” on your friends. Go eat your steak and fries and drink a nutritionally incorrect juice, full of sugar, here and there, like any boy with lice and dirty feet. Leave the world of men who have forgotten themselves and go be a little kid with knees scraped with joy. Be a boy again! And tell the other boys, those like you: I went, I won, I lost. And? I'm back to my comfort zone! And for my kite! Go, Lyoto boy! Happy naked!
