This is what Rampage said about Machidain a recent interview:
"Lyoto is a weird fighter. He's kind of boring. I think that style works for him, the way he makes people run after him. I mean, he's good, he's undefeated, but he's boring. If I was the promoter of a show I wouldn't have guys like that fighting on my show."
This what Lyoto thought on people branding him a boring fighter:
“Everyone has their own opinion and I really respect that. I am a martial artist, there is a lot of thought and strategy that goes into the way I fight. Give me time and in the future every one will understand my style. It is like jiu-jitsu in the beginning (UFC 1, 2, 3…), it was boring but now it is necessary. If you don’t like it, sorry. I always try to win. For some that is boring, I know, but I am beating the best in the world. After my fights I do not have nothing on my face, no scratches, no bruises. I am like a ghost they can not find me. If that is boring, that is their opinion. But I will be there for long time WINNING. Let everyone underestimate me. I will always be training ready for the next.”
I personally find him very entertaining. The way he outsmarts his opponents is a work of art. To me brawlers are boring and usually they dont make for very good fighters.
Lyoto is very elusive and I love the way he frustrates his opponets in making big mistakes. His striking is very precise and reminds me so much of Anderson Silva's striking.

Do you have a reason not to give The Half Boy your vote for the Hall of Fame?
I appreciate a technical fight but he seems to just run from his opponents.

I also think that is why Dana has been keeping him away from the title for so long, because he's a boring fighter. He will eventually get a title shot, and rightly so, but that is probably one of the main reasons why he hasn't gotten one yet. And I don't know, he is boring at times. His last fight was pretty impressive, but I'm guessing he knew he had to go all out or lose.
