Machida HAS to KO Thiago in the 1st or early 2nd if he want to get a much deserved title shot...if he wins by decision there's no way he gets Rashad...hell he might need to win 2 more times to get that shot...

He doesn't want to engage, he throws clean strikes then jumps away. if his opponents also dont engage the fightw ill be boring. a fight agaisnt Thiago Silva will be interesting because i feel liek thiago will chase him.

Somoene who trains MT knows that if you do a jumping strike you do it while moving forward not in the same spot

look up Buakaw in K-1 to see what happens
Lyoto is smart enough not to try that stuff on a good striker.

I'm so excited for this fight, i was saying right after his win against tito that the UFC would put him up against a super aggressive opponent before he would even think about the title, it was 1 of 3 guys, w.silva, t.silva, or shogun. Thiago is going to bring the fight to him like lyoto hasn't seen, they will both get eachother in some trouble. Its going to take alot for either guy to finish this fight... its hard to pick a winner in this one, but i got machida split dec
