One of the best-known businessmen in the world of fighting, Ed Soares is one of those responsible for managing the Brazilian's career Lyoto Machida. Always with good interviews and controversial statements, the manager spares no praise for his clients and harsh criticism of his rivals, however, this time the speech changed. In an interview with the English magazine Fighters Only Magazine, Ed did not fail to value Lyoto Machida, but did not measure efforts to exalt Randy Couture, opponent of the Tupiniquim karateka at UFC-129.
“Facing Randy will be great for Lyoto. To become a legend, you have to defeat a legend. Couture is a legend of this sport”, said Soares.
“I know that Lyoto will get there one day and this fight is very important for that. It will be an honor for all of us to face Randy. It will be another step taken by Lyoto to become a legend”, he added.
The fight between Lyoto Machida and Randy Couture is on the main card of UFC-129, an event on April 30, in Toronto, Canada. The main attraction of the show will be the welterweight belt dispute between Georges St Pierre e Jake Shields
