Wonderboy is the white Machida. With better hands. And faster. And more fluid kicks it looks like. His standup is on point.
well said! I dont think the casual MMA fan can differentiate, but you nailed it. I always saw Anderson's style more of a combo of TKD and boxing.To be fair, I think it has a lot to do with him being lanky and throwing his funky Karate kicks.
Let's be real, Anderson Silva is not and was never a legitimate Thai boxer. That's just something the UFC liked to say because he was from Chute Boxe. Chute Boxe is like a glorified TKD version of Muay Thai.
Why can't Wonderboy be the white Wonderboy?
Now that is an assessment I can agree with based on their styles and karate backgrounds.
Still amazes me at how good shape Machida has been in during his time in the UFC after being so fat and sloppy early on in Japan.
Werdum's response to Mystic Mac
werdumPlease Werdum :: Go slow :: easy you are a heavyweight !!! Wow !!! Now I love you more than #DanaWhite .
now I know why #vaicavalo
I still don't see the comparison as Wonderboy background is Kempo and Machida is Shotokan
lol wtf is the gameplan for big ben?

It's the same thing with "dutch thai boxing". Its origins have little to do with real muay thai. It was kyokushin guys that started it and integrated more boxing into their style.
speaking of kyokushin, i want to see more kyokushin/kyokushin-offshoot guys in MMA. uriah hall, GSP, bas rutten..we need more.
Wonderboy doesn't seem to feint and sit and wait to counter as much as machida. Which is awesome
Wonderboy is really unique don't think he compares to guys before him
