Machida had done that sick judo-trip (did against thiago silva if I recall correctly) but as a fighter he is definitely closer to a striker (and an elite one) then a menacing takedown artist.

Must be the sumo.
I was thinking maybe they got his takedown stats reversed. He should have great takedown D (not sure what the scale is exactly but high 80's at least,maybe in the 90's) but not so much for the offense. I can't check right now but someone else should.
