http://www.sherdog.com/news/articles/1/20-Questions-for-the-Machida-Patriarch-20388
Yoshizo Mchida: The fighters need to work on his defensive positions; that’s why my son has never been seriously hit. But for the promoter, sometimes it was not a good show. There are many strong guys out there, and each fighter needs to have his strategy. Against Rashad, I told him to forget about the belt and take him down as fast as he could, and that’s what he did. This is martial arts.
Anyone who practices a martial art knows about it, no matter which martial art it is. Our son is not making a show yet because, to make a show, you have to be really superior
.
In his last two fights, he has given a great show. Now, he understands he’s strong.
I love Anderson Silva’s fights because he’s an artist inside the Octagon
.
A lot of people don’t like it because they think he wants to play and have fun. I don’t see it that way. I see him as a showman who’s very strong. Deep in his heart, he knows he can finish the fight when he wants.
Anderson was born like that. Lyoto is different. He wasn’t born like that
,
but as he trains more, trusts his karate and believes in his style, he’s getting more confident and is giving a better performance each time out.
This is coming straight from the mouth of Machida’s father.
After reading this article, you really have to wonder who would win in a fight between Machida and Silva?
After reading this article and due to the fact that Silva’s walk around weight is 225 and he could easily fight comfortably at 205, I absolutely believe that he would beat Machida just due to superior skill and technique.

Hmmm based on a recent machida article and now this, I would guess that machida's Dad is just trying to fire the boy up for the fight. to give him the "eye of the tiger" so to speak (lame analogy, I know). Never have I heard such things out of the Machida camp.

Silva is naturally better than Machida because he has better showmanship? In a dance-off I'd take AS, but Machida wins a fight.

Machida's father is using the word 'SHOWMAN' as a metaphor to an elite martial artists who has reached a certain pinnacle and is able to display his art in a real match.

Hearing it straight from his father holds more weight than hearing it from his camp IMO.
For Machida's father to use Silva as an example to fire up his son really says it all.

I can't be alone in this. Has anybody else thought since Liddell joined DWTS that AS would do really good on that show? I think he could give that douche bag Donny Osmond a run for his money.

I am totally behind you with this one. Have you seen his michael Jackson moves, or his Muhamad Ali shuffle :lol: he would absolutely tear it up on DWTS.

He's not using 'showman' as a metaphor for 'elite fighter.' He's saying in the ring AS is more entertaining because of his toying with opponents. Are Fedor and GSP not elite martial artists since they don't play with their opponents? Machida looks natural and is an artist in the ring, but he isn't a showman. His dad wants him to be something that isn't really him. You're either a showman or you aren't; it doesn't have anything to do with how good you are.

Machida isn't really that strong or fast, what he has is technique and fighting IQ..
well that's going to happen if he fights someone stronger, faster, and have just as much technique and fighting IQ..

Yoshizo is referring 'showman' to a martial artists who finishes fights because his skill is far superior to his opponents.
You my key-board warrior are putting a lot of effort to pick a fight, I will now ignore you and your childish remarks.

Now I have Michael Jackson's "You Are Not Alone" song stuck in my head. Thanks! :? But I do agree with you that Anderson Silva would make a fantastic dancer!

Anything that Master Machida says could be misconstrued in English.
I'd like to see the source interview in Portuguese.
Anyway, I think he was really talking about the "boring" label.
Lyoto kept treating his early UFC fights as karate point matches, which is why he kept getting Okami'ed for a while.
Anderson Silva understood that finishes = airtime = fame = sponsorship = big fights = money, which is why he became a star earlier on.

I agree Machida isnt flashy. Just gets the job done. Silva does more than gets the job done. He humilates his opponents and gets better every fight.

Machida humiliates them too.
He probably just doesn't mean to.
I'm sorry!

What I understand from those comments is that Silva is so naturally gifted in his martial arts that he is at a level that Machida hasn’t reached yet But Machida is starting to believe now and he will eventually get there.
