It is going to be a good fight. Silva is powerful and well schooled on the ground.

Machida is...well...we all know he is elusive, but if Silva is ultra-aggressive, can Machida stop is offensive? IDK...

I say Machida....

By KO. (SHOCKING!)

Man dont we all love Machida threads..

Personally im a huge Machida fan

easily in my top 5 fighters to watch..

i wish someone would add up not total strikes but total different strikes and manueavers.

and compare total different strikes of Machida fight then anyother fighter.

maybe the only true guys who compares in total skills is a guy like Torres or maybe GSP.

you know your gonna see some really fukn cool stuff.

and out of ev1 at LHW i cant name a fighter but Lyoto that has the possiblitlty of keeping the title once he gets it for multiple defenses..

so he has like 30 seconds of clipworthy material from 24+ minutes of UFC fighting.....

that = boring

all those "cool moves" would really be cool if they led to a KO, GNP, submission....anything to make the fight last less than 15 minutes.

a Machida headlined UFC would be the worst draw of the year.

I think Machida's going to take this pretty easily.

I think Machida's striking is worlds better than Silva's, and I think Silva will have a hell of a time getting Machida to the ground.

Right? Silva TKO, R2...or by way of death. Thiago's got his number.
