Who else on here thinks that Rockhold will beat Machida?

I don't know. Rockhold is an excellent can crusher but imo he falters against top competition. On the other hand his ground game is superb.

I just hope Machida kills that annoying dikkhead.

Who else on here thinks that Rockhold will beat Machida?

I do. Lengthy fighters always trouble Machida. 3 of his four loses are to guys who have the reach advantage on him.

When the Olympic Summer games head to Rio de Janeiro next summer, Brazil could have former UFC middleweight champion Anderson Silva helping its medal count.

That is, if "Spider" has anything to say about. Silva, who is 5th-degree black belt in taekwondo, penned a letter to the president of the Brazilian Taekwondo Federation (CBTKD), Carlos Fernandes, expressing his desire to compete for the national team in the 2016 Summer Games.

Good for Anderson, hopefully he makes the team

I won't be surprised if Rockhold comes out the victor. It all depends on which Machida shows up.

Funny cause I think Machida had more success striking against Jones than anyone except Gus. He was more aggressive that fight though

Rockhold vs machida is one of those fights where I don't really care who wins. Well.. It would be interesting to see rockhold face weidman but also interesting to see what machida tweaks in his rematch. And that's even after this fireworks fight.

IS TJ Grant ever gonna step back in the octogon or did that concussion finish his career?

Sad story. It's been almost 2 years since he's fought.

Remember when a few people were saying that the UFC/Grant faked the injury so Pettis could step in to fight Benson.
