First it was Anderson Silva, now this past weekend at UFC 129, Lyoto Machida finished off Randy Couture in stunning fashion with a front kick to the face that dropped the former champion and sent him to retirement.
Like his training partner Silva, who last competed in February, Machida gave credit to Master Steven Seagal for the help in adding the kick to his arsenal and Seagal spoke about sharing "secret techniques" with Blackhouse fighters in the future while speaking with UOL Esportes:
“I’m training other types of kicks, knees, elbows and strikes with them and I am also training their footwork. You have to wait for the new things which we’re working out,” he says.
“I am very happy with Machida. He executed the hit very well. It was a little different from Anderson’s but it was very good,” stated Seagal with pride.
“I’m teaching other fighters (from Black House) but it is something secret,” Seagal concluded.
“That was a strike that I had gone to sleep on,” said Machida in describing his non use for a long time of a technique he already knew . “I trained it a lot but I was sure there would be a perfect time to use it. I felt Couture was with his head down and decided to try.”
