Lyoto Machida vs. Luke Rockhold targeted for UFC on FOX 15

Make or break fight for Rockhold. Its good to look impressive against phillipou and a shot Bisping. But hes biggest win still remains Kennedy 3 yrs ago. Lyoto is a bad matchup for him.

Machida is gonna make quick work of Rockhold. He'll be getting another title shot by the end of the year. Lol nikkas been saying for years that Machida needs to be more aggressive...he looking like a monster right now. I think he'd beat Shogun in a rubber match.

Machida still can't beat Weidman though

I ain't gon' lie, a nikka was shook

And to the haters Oh, and DC's ratio was low too

I believe that was pre-test though

Weidman is the most vulnerable looking champ out of everyone. His cardio is very suspect.

He looked fine in his last fight, from what I can remember

Naw he gassed hard in those later rounds. He even gassed in the first Silva fight

I may have to watch those fights again, but are you sure you aren't overexaggerating?

You makin' it sound like he was gassing so bad to the point that he needed an oxygen machine

The end of the 5th round against Machida he was struggling. I don't know if it was Machida's increased aggression in the championship rounds, Weidman gassing, or a mixture of both but he definitely looked vulnerable.

at Cain being a walk in the park, you're entitled to your opinion breh but you don't know what you're talking about.

Yeah you guys were posting those emoticons before the DC fights also. "DC's olympic wrestling" "DC's hand speed" "DC's takedowns" "DC's pressure" "DC's big fat belly".

Once Cain faces Jones you'll be exposed to just how human Cain is. He has competed in the least talented weight division for his entire life. Jones combines LHW skill with HW size. Cain will do marginally better than DC.

He's on that Jon Jones supplements

Did you cry when Jones took DC's soul on Saturday?

Radio silence for the Jones haters.

Machida's mom would beat Shogun at this point.

I never claimed DC was going to win. You can go ahead and look up my posts about the match-up. After what has come to light about Jones, it's looking like he's been cheating for some time so he might not have been as naturally gifted as we all thought.

Yea he was standing in front of machida in those later rounds with his mouth open. And the first silva fight he did the same thing after they stood up of his first TD. Hes a big ass MW. His cardio has always been an issue.

But the fight will be at HW. And its always questions for someone changing divisions for the first time. We dont know what shape will Jon Jones be in. Will the extra weight be muscle or fat? Will the weight affect his cardio. Plus he doesnt have KO power so thats out the question. We know what Cain will do. Stalk jones up against the fence. Difference between Cain and DC is in addition to Cain having better crisp boxing, he wont get tired. I find it difficult to see Jones beating cain. Oh yea, JDS is better then anyone Jones has faced and Cain demolished him twice
