    I am peeing my pants, right now. I’m yelling at the T.V screen.

    Second round, Lyoto cleans Rashad’s clock. It’s a knock out.

    First round, very slow. Machida lands a glancing roundhouse kick to the head, and a shot or two that sting Rashad, knocking him down. Lyoto pounces, dealing a bit of damage, but Evans stands things up and the round ends.

    Second round, a couple of similar back leg round house kicks, a couple of tie ups.  During one tie up, Lyoto puched Rashad in the head with 3 strong punches, then Rashad answers with 3 stiff shots of his own.  These are the  only shots that Evans will cleanly land on Machida.

    Rashad on the defensive, Lyoto is chasing him down, scaring him with a stutter-step rush-fakes.  Cutting off some of the octogon, the karate champ get in distance and explodes into Evans, knocking him down again. Rashad shows some toughness, eventually getting up, but he’s wobbly. Machida takes advantage, landing punches on the chin, whipping Evans head to the side. Rashad slumps to the ground like a drunken failed attempt at the limbo.

    During the post fight interview, Lyoto screams:

    KARATE IS BACK!
