In final preparation phase for his bout at UFC 79, at December 29, against the man that nocked out Rogério Minotouro and Ricardo Arona, Thierry Romeau Sokoudjou, Lyoto Machida didn’t went to Rio de Janeiro that time to prepare himself. “We always loose something, but I won others too. I call Carlão Barreto and he sends me Nino Shembri, to work at my ground game, and Daniel (Francês) to work my Muay Thai”, said Lyoto to TATAME. Lyoto talked also about his strategy for this bout. “He could be stronger than me, but I will attack as his weak points. I know that Sokoudjou is a good fighter, but nobody can have that strength stamina from the beginning to the end of the fight, and I believe in what I am doing”, said Lyoto.
