Lyoto Machida

[Nameless]

I had also heard that Shogun was next for Lyoto. I felt pretty certain that Rampage would be next but I guess something came up. I don't really think Rua has earned a title shot yet. If Shogun has regained OWGP form then this has potential to be a phenomenal fight. I'd have give Rua at least one more fight against good competition before putting him in for the title.

Yeah I agree, I think that the Rampage's fight couldn't be made yet because he's scheduled against somebody else quite soon but would he and Machida win, I think that this fight would be next.
Another fight I am quite looking for is the Alves-GSP fight, Alves is no puny little kid and it won't be that easy for GSP and would he win, I wonder who's next in line for him. They talked about the Spyder and that... that would be the test of the tests for GSP and I am not sure he could win that one actually.

Lyoto is an enigma.
He's ability to evade his opponents has left every opponent so far frustrated and ultimately beaten.

He's a good guy, with a style I really respect, although it won't win him all that many mainstream MMA fans.

He has the potential to rule the LH's for quite some time.
Although I'm a huge fan I don't see Rampage touching him.
Shogun could pose him problems, assuming he arrives in better condition than he did for Forrest.

I then believ Rampage could beat Shogun, so Dana could have the most marketable man at the top again....

Interesting.

See now Machida is a guy that even I can support as an anti-MMA person, I like and respect now 2 fighters. GSP and Machida, no bad attitudes, no tribal tats, no idiotic haircuts....class acts all around.

How can you not like Anderson Silva? The guy is the #1PFP in all of Combat sports, No Tattoos and carries on with a quiet and gracious confidence. Reminds me a lot like Barry Sanders as amazing as he was he just handled his business with dignity and class

...I don't like him. Anyone that's a Silva or a Sylvia, I won't like....I am anti-Silva/Sylvia

I like Anderson but he's been a bit of a bore lately, I know some of it can be blamed on his opponents but not all of it.
