Machida vs Shogun...UFC 104

[goh]

Shogun? I thought he looked bad against Coleman but Machida? I thought they wanted him to look good.

So since Tito Almost did something that means Machida can get caught? Machida hasn't even lost a round since 2004. A round.

Who said anything about being taken down. Did you forget about SG's mean thai clinch?

Yeah, but it just proves that with the right gameplan you can get inside on LM and do some damage. Shogun weighs more than BJ, and has that nasty MT clinch, and his BJJ is good enough to win a decision against LM IMHO. I mean to this day no one really knows how good LM is out of his guard.

Any given Sunday my friend.

If Rua can show up and fight like he did in Pride...

Then hands down, I stack my cards with Rua.

But I haven't seen that yet and I'm going with Machida.

Machida will destroy Shogun

For those who know Shogun from his loss to Forrest and his gassing against Coleman, this is disappointing.

For those who know Shogun from his PRIDE days, this is a fight to look forward to.
