Hadn't been that shocked by an (in this case near) armbar since Sadollah/Dollaway or Sadollah/Dollaway.

IIRC the cut was from an eye poke, and he won on some kind of technicality.

From Wikipedia:

His next fight was on January 31, 2004, a rematch with Randy Couture for the UFC Light Heavyweight Championship. Despite agonizing over his sister Priscila Belfort, who disappeared on January 9, Vitor won the fight in 49 seconds after a seam from his glove cut Couture's eye leaving Couture with a corneal abrasion, prompting a referee stoppage.

Yea, the glove glanced off the eyelid and almost cut it in half from my understanding.

Ah, I stand corrected. Knew it was something weird and fluky though.

#22 - Lyoto "The Dragon" Machida

http://www.sherdog.com/fighter/Lyoto-Machida-7513

The illusive karate fighter, Lyoto Machida is a former UFC Light Heavyweight champion. He has a career record of 19-3, and a UFC record of 11-3. Machida holds victories over BJ Penn, Rich Franklin, Rashad Evans, Randy Couture, and Dan Henderson. If Machida is ever able to figure out Jon Jones and reclaim UFC gold, he could vault into the top 10.

Lyoto over BJ Penn? Geez that had me doing a double take...

Never seen that fight spyke?

This is a pick I can get behind.

Seems accurately placed, though I reserve the right to whine when someone worse is placed ahead of him.

Jasen777 · Post #310 » by **Jasen777** » Sat Apr 20, 2013 4:52 am

I think he'd have a better chance to get the middleweight title. (Presumably after Anderson retires/moves out/losses).

edit: Of course he could get the LWH title again if Jones moves up. (I just think Jones is too big for him).

Nope never. Looking it up on Wiki, it said K-1 which also had me doing a double take... was going to say, he fought Lyoto in a kickboxing match... christ. Then I see that it was infact an MMA bout. Seems like an interesting fight. I may have to look that one up later.

Bah. Legit win against Rashad, then a pre-UFC Rich in South America and one against a retiring Randy and then a protracted 'feeling out process' UD against Hendo. Something about him does not have me believing "legend". The first fight against Shogun and the Rashad fight are probably his best.

#21 - Josh Barnett

http://www.sherdog.com/fighter/Josh-Barnett-272

Josh Barnett is a former UFC Heavyweight champion, King of Pancrase, and finalist in the 2006 Pride Open Weight Grand Prix (maybe the most loaded tournament in MMA history). He has a career record of 32-6, and holds victories over Pedro Rizzo, Yuki Kondo, Antonio Rodrigo Nogueira, Mark Hunt, Randy Couture, and Dan Severn.

REDDzone · Post #317 » by **REDDzone** » Sat Apr 20, 2013 8:57 pm

Can anyone explain to me why Barnett's win over Couture isn't a no contest.

UFC Champion* (?)

I don't remember if he was the black guy or the white guy, but I do know he was involved in one of the most brutal fights ever. He either won by or lost by elbows to the brainstem/spinal column at ufc1 didn't he?
