Machida is good but shoguns groundwork is excellent and I am sure there will be some time on the ground which is the time to have it finished by SHOGUN!
No mfckn Doubt u guys^^

For those of you saying UD... Remember, this is a title fight, 5 x 5 minute rounds. I don't see this fight going 25 minutes. Machida has a lot of decisions in history, but Rua has been in very few fights that go to decision.

Rua's style isn't going to allow Machida to be overly defensive, he is going to attack, and I see this one over before 2 rounds. Really tuff to call the winner.

My god...talk about careers so far....

Rua has beat: Liddell, Coleman, Overeem (2x), Randleman, Nogueira, Q. Jackson.

Machida has beat: Evans, Thiago Silva, Ortiz, Sokoudjou, BJ Penn, Rich Franklin, Stephan Bonnar, David Heath.

I'm getting amped for this. This could be really good.

You are just pro PRIDE aren't you?

I am picking Shogun as well...and I like UFC as much as I like Dream, SF...The same might happen with a lot of people here. UFCfan might be a UFC nuthugger rather than a PRIDE nuthugger.

PRIDE is dead but yea it was a lot better organization than UFC by far when both existed back in the day.

PRIDE FAN FOR LIFE!!!! :twisted:

Shogun might win. I just hope this to be one hell of a fight..Shogun is my favorite fighter, I like Machida as well. If Machida wins this just proves what everybody knows:He is one of the best MMA fighters walking on earth

I just watched some old fights of Machida and I think he will destroy Shogun. He seemed unhitabble. His footwork is crazy. In the Ortiz fight he threw so many great feints. He took him down too and he has one of the best takedown defense Tito couldn't do shit to him.

Thing with Machida is that he's defensive - hangs back but instigates with extremely accuruate attacks to engage his opponent and when they attack he counters....basically same style as Anderson... Machida will win this one. He'll probably hold the belt for a long time...

I agree with you 100% on this! I LOOOOOOOOVE Shogun & Lyoto! I wish I could say Shogun would shine through but as we all know, his PRIDE days are long gone =/ If Shogun thinks he can come out and barely win like he did over Chuck hes in a world of hurt!

Sad to say it but:

I think this fight will goto cards... I cant honestly say who I think will win because I would love to see Shogun come out like he did against Rampage & pick him apart with those MT knees =/ However to the flip side, his conditioning is horrible, as seen in his previous 2 fights so I honestly doubt it!

If shogun thinks he can come out and barely win like he did over chuck??? Did you even watch the fight??? How could you say he BARELY won if Chuck got knock the fuck out and completly outclassed in the first round? + Shogun's cardio looked a lot better in that fight than in his previous outings

Machida, no doubt. I will bet alot of money on him:D:D

by **Dnicest** » 8. Oct 2009, 23:59

man this is an easy one to call... good thing i like both fighters though... because shogun has that punchers chance you feel me.... but i got a feeling this might be a replay of forrest VS silva....

good luck to both fighters....

machida by submission early in the fourth

Some of you guys here are fucking Stupid,

Liking a fighter and picking a WINNER is something totally different.

Don't pick a fighter just cause you like him.

a lot of you guys do that, now here is the break down.

MACHIDA wins 2nd round TKO mark my words gents.

by **TheMindofMoney** » 9. Oct 2009, 09:29

Anyone can be beat....

The question is can shogun catch Machida....
Hopefully yes...
Then Anderson Silva will Fight For the 205lb belt.
But unfortunately ...
Shoguns aggression will lead him right into machidas trap.
And machida knows it.

Machida by 1st round KO. :wink:

I am 95% accurate with predictions
