lol
Machida will pick Rashad apart on the feet, hell, Forrest was picking Rashad apart on the feet. The difference is that Machida is a legit BJJ black belt with a very good butterfly guard. He swept Sokoudjou three times, sweeping a judo champion is no easy task.

truth. i give Rashad his kudos for that fine ground and pound, but Forrest was winning that fight on the feet. against Machida, it wouldn't even be close. and his movement would make it almost impossible for Rashad to get him down.
Rampage is a better striker than Rashad, hits harder, and is a better wrestler in MMA imo. He would finish Rashad.

I dunno how many times he'll successfully defend it, if at all. It's a pretty stacked division. Rampage could have trouble but at the same time he presents a real threat cus he, like Rashad, works best in close and hits hard.
As for Machida...I'd like to see him get KTFO but something tells me he'd outpoint Rashad and win a decision.

I dont see rampage beating Rashad. Machida on the other hand would probably pull out a decision.

If you refer to a fighter who you've never met in real life as "my boy" as though their performance somehow reflects well on you for simply being a fan, you're a lame ass.

Rampage and Griffin will rematch, probably for a title shot, and leave Machida out in the cold again.

Anderson Silva is not interested in the LHW belt... didn't he say that already?
Lyoto and Evans would make a good PPV, since they're both undefeated, they can market that good. I still don't see Lyoto taking the belt. I actually don't see anyone taking the belt at the moment. Not Rampage, not Lyoto, not Shogun, ando Soko, lol.
