The Machida Era is HERE!

[eS El Duque]

Machida knocked the shit out of evans

I wonder what Dana White was honestly thinking inside, you know deep down he doesn't want a dude who is constantly being criticized for being "boring" as the champion of the most stacked division in all of MMA.

Personally though I'm happy for him, we all knew this man becoming champ was inevitable within like his 3rd fight in the UFC.

only guy that has a chance is Anderson, he has the length and reach where Machida couldn't just play "catch me if u can" MACHIDA IS SOOO BORING

that was very impressive I think Machida will be a good champion, hes going to be tough to beat for awhile.

I duno that should be a better fight IMO, I would give Rampage the edge over Rashad.  So I think he will have a better chance vs Machida, altho Machida did look sick lastnight!!

I think the opposite, Im positive Rampage would get beat by Evans. Rampage would get caught quick by Machida, Evans had the best shot to beat him IMO

Great fight, watched it live. I knew machida would take it, but evans had a good chance, I like him as a fighter.

RAMPAGE vs MACHIDA

You would think so because Rashad has a similar style to Machida, but the bottom line is that nobody can use Machida's style better than Machida, which made Rashad doomed from the start.

Rampage is probably gonna use the exact opposite strategy as Rashad, and if Rampage actually tries to use his wrestling (which he hasn't really done since his days of PRIDE), he might put himself in a good position to win.

That being said, my money would still be on Machida, although I'll be rooting for Rampage big time.

[eS El Duque]

The thing with this fight. Machida was always moving forward on Rashad. It was Evans backing up all the time. Hopefully Machida destroys Rampage.

Oh and everybody was forgetting that even though Rashad was the champ, he was a 2 to 1 underdog lol. Machida was supposse to win and he did.

is there any talk of a machida v silva fight after machida v rampage?

is there any talk of a machida v silva fight after machida v rampage?

THERE FUCKIN SHOULD BE. SILVA IS THE ONLY ONE THAT HAS A CHANCE. Unless Fedor loses 28 lbs haha

[Canuck]

Silva will never fight Machida they got the same manager and train together and have said in the past they won't fight each other, kind of like Jardine and Evans.

IMO Shogun has the best chance at beating Machida out of the current contenders in the division, most well rounded just needs to continue working on getting his cardio back.
