not to doubt Machida and keep playing these "prove yourself...again...wait, once more" games like what they do to Yushin, but yeah I'd like to see Machida against a good striker.

I like Machida as much as the next guy but you're getting waaaaaaaay ahead of yourself lol. Nice GIFs though.

I hope Machida loses.

I've been looking forward to this fight since it was first scheduled. If T. Silva fights smart, gets the fight to the ground early and secures a good position he has a decent chance. If fights like he said he was going to in his interview, pursuing contantly and staying in Machida's face, he's going to get picked apart until Machida lands a solid choke or TKO. I've never seen T. Silva move anything but straight forward and against someone who utilizes a lot of lateral movement like Machida, that's opening up your sides for some heavy kicks and easier takedowns.
