MMA: Machida vs. Rua

Recommended Posts

Betting the house on Lyoto. Shogun couldn't handle Machida's flurries last time and that's how he won a lot of those rounds. I expect Machida to increase the flurries and to finish it. I don't see what Shogun could really do better this time. He couldn't take Lyoto down last time and all he did was leg kicks. If he gets anymore aggressive that would be playing into Lyoto's game and that would be even better for Machida.

Rua was the best in 205 before he lost to Forrest Griffin and he should have won the first fight. He's taking this one.

We saw the best Shogun we'll ever see last time he fought Machida. Shogun's a JAG and I think Machida underestimated him last time.

Well, we'll find out tomorrow. Should be worth watching no matter what happens. One of the few big MMA matches I'm interested in. At least it won't be another 25 minute leg hump like with Strikeforce and GSP matches.

Amen. Koscheck/Daily is for a title shot at GSP. I'm tired of seeing GSP fight one dimensional fighters.. Kos would be an interesting match up. They already fought a close fight once..

Tch...I just got word that Shogun's knee is injured. He will fight anyway, but now I don't really give him much of a chance. I wish I had known this before I plunked all my vcash on him, this looks like a sure win for Machida if my intel is right.

I wonder if the knee thing was misinformation, or Shogun is just so damn badass it doesn't even matter.

That was awesome. He got robbed the first time and he wasn't going to mess around this time. Now all the Machida nuthuggers can go away.
