You're delusional if you think Rashad has "nothing for Lyoto." I know Lyoto knocked him out last time they fought, but Rashad can take Machida.

Someone who has beaten the likes of Stephan Bonnar, Rich Franklin, BJ Penn, Nakamura, Sokoujou, Tito, Thiago Silva, Rashad Evans , Shogun and Randy Couture. Maybe the most complete mixed martial artist on the planet.
seemed like machida has had ego problems all along. didn't say he was over-rated. the MF'er can fight. just has a big head, and he's crazy if he thinks he deserves silva money. silva alone is worth probably 1/4 million ppv buys. machida is not.
Edit: i didn't mean fighting ability as in he couldn't fight. i meant it as in exciting to watch.

Lil Nog gets hurt and the UFC is unable to find a replacement for him to fight Rich Franklin, scratched from the card. This year's injuries have been unreal. Hopefully we can see Davis vs Machida or Davis vs Franklin now though.

Something is getting fishy with the injuries. I mean I know it's a tough sport but the number of injuries has been unreal.

The new insurance could have a lot to do with it.

This is Zuffa flexing their muscles, Overeem didn't sign the bout agreement because he felt disrespected that they didn't talk to him about it first, they have supposedly threatened to cut him as well, stupid.

That is what I am saying, I mean jees they knew they were doing this tournament for how long now?? Overeem is like Fedor on some stances that is why he hasn't been in the UFC either!

Rumor is that he wants a boxing match with one of the Klitschko brothers, maybe that has something to do with it, idk.

Yeah me 2 although every time I think GSP could lose he proves me wrong. Are you against GSP usually or just for this fight?

Just Nick though don't really care for Nate that much.
I just want to see GSP actually fight this time but we can save that for October.

Anyone willing to make a bet on gsp vs diaz? I like both guys but I just dont see it being that close. Gsp is on a different overall level than diaz.
