Lyoto: “I’d like to test myself against Lesnar”

Quote :: The Brazilian fighter Lyoto Machida has impressed the MMA world with his unorthodox striking. After beating opponents like Tito Ortiz, Thierry Sokoudjou and Thiago Silva in UFC’s octagon, Machida will have this chance for the belt at May 23, but, before the fight, he accepted the invite from TATAME.com and answered our subscribers. On the chat, he spoke about his start in the martial arts and talked about a possible run for the UFC heavyweight title in the future.

“I don’t think about fight at heavyweight division, but I think about a challenge, maybe against the heavyweight champion, but it’s time for it now. My focus, for sure, is on my division now, later is later. Maybe a fight against Brock Lesnar. He’s a huge guy, showed himself very aggressive and strong, who knows if one day we can fight… I respect him as a fighter, he’s very strong, but I’m professional and I’d like to test myself”, said Lyoto. Stay tuned on TATAME.com and check, tomorrow, an exclusive interview with Machida, who talked about his toughest fight, the most complete fighter in MMA and much more.

If both men were in Japan... This fight would happen.
