I thought his footwork looked very good, as is typical of Machida. He didn't need to retreat as much against Davis because Davis wasn't really pressuring him.

Surprised at how easily he shrugged off Davis on most of his attempts, too. The first takedown (which cost him the fight) actually came from him getting overconfident. When he blitzed Davis, I was screaming "NOOOOOOOOO" until Davis hit the mat, then I figured it'd be fine, but Lyoto continued trying to overwhelm Davis and ended up clinched and tripped.

When he wins, yeah. It's one of those fights where if he wins, he's probably going to stuff Harris and brutalize him on the feet, or possibly (unlikely) get a submission from the bottom. If he loses, he's probably going to get taken down over, and over, and over, and have very little offence. I doubt it's a close fight. When Harris wins, he'll win hard, but Santiago wins more often, I think.

I give a slight edge to Santiago. However, I missed him at + odds so I plan on staying away from this match.
