Machida is too tentative and has low output. It cost him the first fight and I don't think that will ever change. Jacare was able to basically bum rush Mousassi towards the cage and use the clinch to drag him down. He will be flat back doing that to Weidman I mean don't get me wrong. I've said Weidman is beatable due to his poor cardio and any of those guys can win(except Rockhold) if they withstand early. I just see Romero having the best chance due to his style.

Machida lost a competitive fight. If he fights the whole fight like he did in the last 2 rounds of the Weidman match, I think he can pull it off. He has a much better chance than Romero.

wouldn't say 1 punch but he was known for phasing dudes with zingers ie Rashad and thiago

I mean those two fights were some of Lyoto most aggressive ever. Before he was knows as a boring low output decision king. Then after Shogun plastered him he went back to that safe style(not as extreme but the guy who had was bobbling Evans head from one side of the cage to the other is gone)

Hopefully. I wouldn't be opposed to a rematch. But Machida is what he is. Hopefully he gets past Rockhold. Fighters with lenght have always been his Achilles heel

I'd rather fight 4-5 times a year for two years than fight Silva twice, personally.
:yeshrug:

Well... undefeated, classic Silva.
Can't speak to the new Silva til we see him in action.
But old Silva... :patrice:

You would have no choose but to fight Silva twice. :ld:


If Weidman wasn't so injury prone, he would have around 4 title defences by now.

I don't like that fukkboy Weidman but he's fighting who he's been assigned to? Don't think he's protected.

Now his ascent to his initial title shot is questionable. :sas1:

Vitor got a shot at Anderson with wins over Linland, Terry Martin & Franklin.

Thales Leites got a title shot with wins over Jensen, McFedries & a split decision over Nate Marquardt.

Cote got a shot with wins over Grove, McFedries & a split decision over Almeida.

Lutter got a shot with wins over Sell, Smith and Cote. Yes, it was because of winning TUF, but that list of opponents is still a struggle.

Marquardt got a shot with wins over Lister, Wallace and Doerksen.

Weidman's run of Lawlor, Munoz & Maia (which isn't anything special) is still better than the runs mentioned above. And about on par with Okami and Maia's runs imo

largely due to the weight drop, ppl want to cite mousasi/weidman having iron chins well so did rampage and we saw what the 3rd round looked like when he caught him

Dude had like 3 title defenses in 2 years and none of his opponents were tough. Machida (blown up) :heh:

Now, he's gonna fight Vitor without TRT ? :dahell:

The UFC is a freaking joke and Dana White protects his great white hype well since he knows who his fans are.

Meanwhile, let's all look at Jones over the past 2 years :sas2:

They even tried to force him to take on a challenger on a 3 week notice :sas1:

Let's elaborate
Easy answer, Silva dived for a cac champ and Dana is milking this shyt to the death......................
