Ryoto Machida is the next big MMA superstar. He has an extensive karate (first place in pan am games), jiu jitsu (purple belt), sumo and wrestling background. He started martial arts at the age of 3, his dad being a 7th dan in shotokan. He's pretty new to MMA, yet his opponents are as tough as they come for a new contender. No other new contender has such a tough list of opponents. Anyone know when he's fighting next?
