   I was hoping Carwin and velasquez wouldn’t fight until one of them was beaten. The ufc might of scewed up with this one. What if something like Machida-Evans, where two undefeated fighters fought for the crown in the heavywieght division? These two along with brock are the top three not counting all the vets. Shogun will be tougher than Rashad, But Machida, I dare say, Will never be beaten.

   I’m looking forward to Machida vs Rua, but I don’t think it will be the amazing fight everyone expects. Rua’s a very aggressive, very strong, very ferocious fighter. But Machida’s strategy is built specifically to counter those fighters, and Machida has proven that he can match anyone in his division for knockout power. Machida is a counter fighter with KO abilities, and that makes him a nightmare for fighters like Rua.

   What very few people out there understand is that Lyoto Machida is dangerous not just because he is elusive and hard to catch, but also because he is by far the fastest and most acurate fighter in MMA history. On top of that, most fighters look more comfortable outside the octagon than inside, which is normal, but go back and watch Machida when he is in the octagon and you see not only someone who is relaxed and focused but also someone who is in ecstacy when he is standing in the octagon. I don’t see this guy going down for a LONG time, regardless of who he fights, be it Rampage, Shogun or even Spider. This dude is the quintecential martial artist and he will not and cannot be stopped.

   Machida is hands down the best fighter that has ever stepped foot in the octagon. The way he fights is so unorthodox for all UFC fighters. He went unbeaten in Pride, and he will stay unbeaten in the UFC for years to come. The only thing that would stop him, god forbid, is an injury of some sort. He is currently all well and good and Rua will prove no match for the karate master and just be the first blip on the radar for defending his Light Heavyweight championship.

   anderson vs lyoto would be better

   david man.. machida vs evans already happened and machida knocked out evans in the 2nd round giving rashad his first loss. Oh, and another thing.. machida and evans r light heavy weight fighters so unless they gain some lbs there is no way either of them would fight for the heavy weight belt.

   see machida is a very stealthy fighter, he is quick accurate and definetly has knockout power, i think rua will go forward and get hit a couple times by machida then he will refocus and come up with a better gameplan, if shogun can realize machidas game plan then he could have a chance. Now, machida vs silva, one of the most anticipated fights right now, although silva says he would never fight machida because they were close friends if they were to fight i think that silva would defeat him, he trains with machida and he knows his style, anderson is faster for sure, i think anderson would probably either get him in the muay thai clinch or use his bjj to tap him out, anyways machida will get defeated sometime because theres always gonna somebody who comes along thats better then you. dont get me wrong i like machida i just think he needs to be taught a lesson

Got something to say?
