UFC 224 in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, featured a fight between two legendary Brazilian mixed martial artists in Lyoto Machida and Vitor Belfort.

The fight lived up to the billing thanks to Machida delivered a knockout of the year candidate in the form of a devastating front kick to Belfort, who retired after the fight.

If you cringed for Belfort watching that kick, you're not alone.  You're also not alone in saying Machida was all class in victory and that class carried over into the crowd in a special way:

Nothing but respect and at the end of the day, that's all that matters.
