Lyoto Machida In this week’s Trading Shots, MMAjunkie columnist Ben Fowlkes and retired UFC/WEC fighter Danny Downes discuss Lyoto Machida ’s knockout loss at the hands of Yoel Romero at UFC Fight Night 70 in Hollywood, Fla., and what it means for the former champ to lose two fights in two months. Fowlkes: Danny, as tempting as it is for us to use this space to try and figure out what Yoel Romero said and/or meant in his post-fight speech (honestly, the more I listen to it, the more I’m convinced you could hear almost anything there at the end), I’d like instead for us to think of poor, poor Lyoto Machida . Once the UFC light heavyweight champ with his own era named after him, “The Dragon” is now 1-3 in his last four, with two straight losses that saw him take rather savage beatings roughly two months apart. That can’t be good for him, can it? Should he have waited longer to get back in the cage? Is this a sign of Machida’s decline or of the middleweight division’s current vicious awesomeness
