Regardless, come fight night, Machida put in an excellent performance--staying either at long range or out of range, thereby disallowing Couture from shooting in without the fear of a counter knee or uppercut. Machida then began feinting with his feet--faking with both his lead and back foot.

Machida ended this fight by way of a jumping front kick aka crane kick to Couture's head. What's so very memorable about this KO is that while The Dragon faked a front kick with his back leg i.e. the power leg, the KO strike was delivered with the front leg.
For those unaware of kicking mechanics, traditionally, kicks delivered with one's front leg are known to have less power than ones delivered with the back leg aka the power leg. Machida's KO once again proved that The Dragon is one who doesn't necessarily adhere to the restrictions placed upon one's combat style by an orthodox approach towards fighting.
