Recommendation for a new UFC 5 fighters/alter egos

I would very much like to see Lyoto Machida from UFC 98

after he KOed Rashad that’s when Joe Rogan said “welcome to the Machida era” 

1000% agree we need a UFC 104 Lyoto Machida alter ego for LHW with a new model, I’ve read in many forums that many share this sentiment and keep asking for it.

It would really make the LHW online matches more interesting and fresh - assuming they raise the stats for LHW Machida-ERA champion and they definitely need to raise his health stat to be able to withstand damage better from the usual 5 star fighters that everyone picks . He was definitely one of the best strikers and was way more dangerous at LHW at his prime…Jon Jones even stated that machida’s stand up game was one of the hardest to defend against and figure out. Rampage even thought he lost their bout.  The Machida Karate/Muay Thai striking base was unique.



Machida at his prime at LHW also had much better takedown defense from his sumo/judo grappling base. Wrestlers like Tito Ortiz, Rashad Evans, Ryan Bader (1st fight when Machida was prime) couldn’t take him down. The older he got and as soon as he dropped to middleweight, it all went downhill.  Devs should also add his other signature moves:  his flying knee to the body  -from UFC84 that crumbled Tito Ortiz. The diving head punch to the ground -that knocked out Thiago Silva at UFC94 and flash KO-grade karate kick to the body that TKO’d Ryan Bader -UFC on Fox 4, and more of his infamous trip animations from over under…
