I would be shocked if Machida doesn't KO Rua...

 

[Michaelthomasj]

[Tom]

[MightyJohn]

[dropshot001]

i'm taking machida, i don't think that people are able to figure out his style.

I'd have to say MACHIDA. Should be a great one though.

 

[SOCOM]

I already got my tickets handy

Machida is going to do some damage..

 

[Che]

Machida - I honestly don't think Shogun will be able hang through the first round.

 

[jalsmiley]

wow, not a one rua vote...i have to say i gonna take machida too but i think a healthy rua is not getting the respect and it gonna be a longer fight than everyone thinks....rua never been ko'd ever, even when he in bad shape he always takes it deep....i dont think anyone beats machida first go, he too different styled fighter and take a 2nd fight to beat him.

 

[natabolic]

i'm going to go against the grain...

ive actually got money on shogun. why? maybe im just feeling lucky..
we'll find out soon enough!

The Old juiced Rua would have given Machida a real tough time .......but the states verson will get put to sleep in the 3rd or 4th rd imo.........Guys like Coleman ,kehr , wandeli ,shamrock, fry, mirko , were never the same in strictly tested fights........shoot Coleman ,Kehr are fighting with 50 lbs less muscle these days......preformance enhancement works and the guys that needed it and took advantage of it were obvious......yes ,some guys do have good advice and can beat the tests [have even advised some folks on this] but for most, it is too much stress and risk to be worrying about before a fight.......look at Brock ......he been hard at 305 before and now weighs 265 or so soft.....he cut the gear and is a good enough athlete to make it work...but for many like Rua it definately shows..........I like him , loved his agressive pride style .....but it is not just injuries that changed his game in the ufc......believe it or not........he is going to get picked apart and I hope I am wrong , but I am afraid not....

i agree machida will take it-but rua should put up a decent fight!

 

[mrshoulders]

Obvious decision...Machida...3rd round

 

[napaulm]

machida feels him out round one, takes him out round two.

 

[grasshopper]

fight

Machida

 

[adonis]

Machida 2nd Rd

 

[chavo]

I like Machida but I wouldn't write off Shogun, he is pretty good himself and these days is all healed up and back to the old Shogun that dominated back in the Pride days.

 

[tl2001]

Machida. Anyone else see the corny propoganda on Spike after the Ultimate Fighter on Wednesday night hyping the fight up? They had Machida getting in touch with the spirit of the waterfall and becoming one with nature, dude is bad ass.

No doubt, it's been a long time coming.
