In late May 2003, Lyoto Machida touched down in Brazil. A trip across the world officially concluded and he was back home. After a lifetime of karate and martial arts training under his legendary father, Yoshizo, Machida made his professional MMA debut in Japan days prior. It was a unanimous decision win over Kengo Watanabe at New Japan Pro Wrestling: Ultimate Crash. While the training never stopped, the usual diet could be put aside for a little bit to celebrate victory. Shortly after his arrival in Belem, Para, Machida was in need of some good home cooking.
