[UFC 104] Machida vs. Shogun

[farrisdabis]

I don't think I'm buying this one. I'll probably go out and watch it or try to find a stream. Saving my money for UFC 106, 107 and 108.



My picks for this weekend: Machida, Velasquez, Tibau, Stevenson, Johnson, Bader, Hardonk, Okami.

I think Shogun will put up a better fight than any of Machida's previous opponents but I think Machida takes it by TKO in the 3rd round.

I think Velasquez will run through Rothwell although Rothwell is tough. I just thing Cain with overwhelm him.

Yep. These are some top athletes folks...



Hey! It's Ben Rockwell!!!

That's a real "Heavyweight Champion of the World" right there.

Machida is going to destroy Shogun. His elusiveness and counter striking are the best in MMA. Shogun has no shot.

Cant wait to see how Cain Velasquez looks against Rothwell. I want to see him to do well against some one of that size, if he has no issues, then he should be ok against Brock. It will probably be a replay of his fight with Kongo, but this time I expect him to finish the fight and win by TKO

The Stevenson and Fisher fight should be a good one too.

Rumble Johnson missed weight by 6lbs and has to forfeit 20% of his pay.

Machida via A.S.S RAPE.

and I'm gonna go with Rothwell, not because I think he'll win, but for some reason I don't like Cain.

[vinsensual]

Hopefully Machida doesnt stay on defense all fight. Machida fights that go to decision are boring.

[Crudder]

I'll be rooting for Shogun on this one.

Rothwell isn't as one sided in skills as Kongo, Kongo destroyed Cain on the feat too before the takedowns. This Cains first test, I think Roth will get it

[Wakko67]

I am interested in seeing Cain fight. Then again I'm interested in anyone that has the potential to beat C**k Lesnar. Damn yous FEDOR!!!

On the Machida fight, I think it will be better than the Evans one. I predict Machida to win, but won't sleep on Shogun. Hopefully its a good one.

[The Joker]

Shogun will def. be the toughest competition for Machida yet. I think Machida via TKO 4th round.

Cain TKO 1st Round

Shane Carwin has a chance to beat Lesnar. His punches are way more devastating and he has better overall stand-up game. His ground game is solid as well as he comes from a wrestling background. Carwin win also be the strongest opponent for Lesnar thus far.

Machida will defeat Rua easily.

[coolweather]

the key to beating machida is to ATTACK ATTACK ATTACK. if shogus does this, he might win.

I agree, only problem is when you attack attack attack, the counter strike is there, which is what Machida is looking for. Plus, aggressive fighters better have high cardio against Machida..

No.. this is exactly what Machida wants him to do.

I think Shogun's best bet would be taking it to the ground.

Which is a lot harder then it sounds. Just watch the Machida/Tito Ortiz fight. Machida's takedown defense is stellar.

[BigBenito]

I was almost in perma-cringe during the struve fight. Knee injuries make me wince, and i was expecting one to land one of those holds. (I had a friend lose an amateur bout by not tapping... he was in a wheel chair and then crutches for almost a year in college.)
