On this day in MMA history 5 years ago, Lyoto Machida landed one of the most iconic KO’s of all time at UFC 129 as he finished Randy Couture with an incredible jumping front kick.
The win earned Machida a crack at Jon Jones’ light heavyweight championship at UFC 140, which he lost via submission.

UFC light heavyweight champion Alex Pereira is staying sharp between fights by sparring with one of the best middleweights in MMA at the moment: his fellow Brazilian, Caio Borralho.
Punches are expected in combat sports like MMA, boxing, and even in hockey, but you don’t, as a general rule, expect to see anyone throwing hands in the refined sport of horse racing.
