Machida vs Evans
I think Machida will take it but I'm definitely not ruling out Evans. I actually bet $10 on Evans with this girl who's completely obsessed with Machida (she gave me 2:1 odds)
Any predictions on how this'll go down?

I think this. I reckon it'll be 5 rounds that look kinda similar to the first two rounds of Griffin v Evans. Could still go the other way though and I'd definitely be betting on evans if someone was giving me 2-1

Machida will dominate all rounds except the last one where Rashad will KO Machida.

I think Evans is going to catch him clean on the chin in the second.. Evans can usually pick up a guys timing by then and I think that's pretty much all it will take before he sleeps Machida... But Machida is damn good, and I don't know what his chin is like...

The only people I've ever seen catch Machida even sort of flush were Tito and KazNak, so that doesn't say anything about his chin except that it's not glass.

this.
machida is the master of not getting hit/elusiveness. machida by decision.

Machida must win in the 1st round to beat Evans. When Rashad gets comfortable in the later rounds it will be game over for Machida.

I got Rashad to put an end to the overhyped Machida.

Rashad's wrestling will be the difference IMO.
He may try and stand with Machida early but if it proves to be going nowhere or he gets outstruck he can always go for the takedown and gnp.
Can't remember exactly but Tito was unable to take Machida down was he not?

Soku took him down but was swept immediately. I think Soku took him down again at the end of the first but Machida got right back up.

Tito's wrestling was completely ineffective against Machida. In fact, Tito got taken down, and another time was forced to pull guard. It's incredibly hard to take down a guy with good lateral movement.
