I'd rather see Hendo, Glover, and Gus get shots at the title than see Shogun and Machida get rematches. I think the Gus/Shogun winner should have to fight Rashad next. Hell, if Machida wins I think he should have to fight Rashad again before getting a shot at Jones, only because I don't see anyone outside of Jones beating Rashad.

I'd like to see those guys get shots too, although realistically I think Lyoto is the only guy at 205 who can possibly beat Jones. I don't see how Rashad could beat Lyoto. A lot of people say if he uses his wrestling but Lyoto has never been beat through wrestling, you have to outstrike him and Rashad can't do that.

Raw Dawgin' it;1319390 wrote:Shogun put him lights out, so i think Dan definitely could. I don't see anyone in 205 beating Jones, but i think Rashad is the best lhw not names Jon Jones. Not laying he'd beat Machida 10/10 but I think if they fought again he'd win. I know Machida is very quick but I think Rashad would get him to the ground and GnP him.

I'd love to see Daniel Cormier and Pat Barry drop to 205. I think DC would be a great match up for Jones. And I think Pat Barry vs any LHW would be fun.

Not saying he can't win but his brawling style plays right into the hands of Lyoto. I think Lyoto beats Rashad every time, maybe not as devastating as the first time but he has a massive gap to close to take Lyoto down, who already has some of the best take down defense in MMA. I think Cormier could give Jones a run for his money because of his wrestling, but I don't see him making 205. I think I heard the last time he tried to make 205 his kidneys shut down. I think we could see that fight at HW though once Jones moves there.

robj55;1319966 wrote:Machida lost a controversial decision in which the most significant thing Rampage landed the entire fight were foot stomps. Machida was tentative and coming off his first KO loss but he still won that fight imo. First round he won with leg kicks and third round he rocked Rampage, took him down and mounted him and nearly arm barred him. Had he opened up earlier he probably would have finished him. Rashad wasn't impressive against Rampage at all, he nearly got finished in that fight.

jmog;1319971 wrote:So up to that point Machida had beat Nakamura, Sokoudjou, and Ortiz (all good fighters at that time) and they were fighting FOR THE TITLE, but we are to believe Evans took him lightly?

Evans is one of two things
1. A liar
2. A retard

I don't think he is that stupid, so I believe he lied to make himself feel better about getting humiliated in that fight.

What are your thoughts on Kampmann and Hendricks? I'd be happy with whoever won, I like both guys. I think Hendricks will tag him, but I don't think he'll be able to finish Kampmann. I think Kampmann wins this one.

robj55;1319980 wrote:Lyoto had also just came off a one round destruction of Thiago Silva. People think that Rashad would automatically be able to take Lyoto down and win through ground and pound. Lyotos distance is a foot farther than anyone elses due to his karate style and his balance and take down defense is incredible, he was a sumo champion in brazil when he was younger. Who has ever been able to take Lyoto down and keep him there? No one.
