Seconded. Shogun has a chance, even though it's small as hell.

Also, REAL trailer for hype

iwant shogun to win his my all time favorite fighter,,its just hard to imagine lyoto to get hit his so elusive he didint even lose a single round in his career i think lyoto will win by decision but i hope shogun to win a devastating KO to make a statement to dana for making him fed to lyoto..

Machida won't get caught by shogun he's way too fast and elusive to fall into a submission or to get slapped around. Lyoto Machida by Decision.

i think shogun will put up a hell of a fight, but machida will take the win in the end. i'm extremely excited for this fight.

I'm surprised to see all the machida support considering all the hate he got 2 years prior to being champ!

I've been a machida fan for a while. Beating tito really did it for me. And call me crazy, but I actually enjoy his "boring" style. Where many see boring, I see genius.


Here's the thing about lyoto's style, and I guess it hasn't been said enough, you're IN his range even when you're out of YOUR range. He's been trained since he was a young pup to decipher these ranges and strike and retreat effectively from a range that muay thai fighters are not used to. Muay thai, while further out than boxers, is still quite a close quarters fight style. I don't see how shogun can mount a substantial offense without getting countered the whole time for coming into machida's range.

I see machida getting another tko. 3rd round. But it is a fight, shogun can KO, so it can go either way.....but I'm betting on machida.

I hope Shogun is that good, his style is so exciting to watch. If only they allowed kicks to a grounded opponent, I would bet on Shogun by vicious head stomp!

That said, I'd put Lyota as a 3 to 1 favorite to win.

i bet is machida

I hope Machida, but seriously, i dont know. my guts say Shogun will knock Machida out in the first round.. i just keep on thinking about it, hope its a bad feeling, i dont like Shogun, specially after he beat Rampage.-

it's just a bad feeling. Machida is too elusive and percise for Shogun. please allow me to assure you Lyoto will win.

1st round
machida will win
shogun will fall

1 critical strike with no damage taken. (samurai warrior)
machida's way of fighting.

no objection about it!

well i give it to machida he is all around good and it is going to be hard to say were he finishes the fight he is an amazing striker and wresler and he is an amazing brazilian ju jitsu black belt so he can end it any were it is just when he sees his opening he will take it and end it i promise you that! and i think that no one is going to come close to takeing his belt. for a long while
