I want to see Machida fight Kalib Starnes. I predict they both lose. No, seriously.. What happens when people stop pursuing and engaging Machida?

seriously???? noone ever even talks about silva's chance in this fight!!!!
Silva is vicious, and the soon to be 205 champ!!!
I guess I will be the only one talking about how "I told you so" come Feb 1st

silva has a tremendous chin i swear he will just walk through stuff sometimes to get a chance to punch the other guy. unless machida starts sitting down on his punches hes going to have a hard time rocking silva

I dig Machida, but what the fuck happens when he does break Thiago's face and then gets knocked the fuck out by Rashad?

A lot of Sherdoggers with thumbs up their asses.

I'd like to see it just for entertainment value.

All I can predict is Machida by decision.

The only thing I see in the future is something that resembles Kalib Starnes vs Nate Quarry.

he only avoids damage from people who he thinks can hurt him. a mosquito like starnes wouldnt pose much of a threat. machida would test him out in the opening minutes of the first round and then go for bolder shots like he always does against lesser skilled guys. he just got this bad rap of running from the tito fight.
