BUT WE HATE WATCHING HER AND HATE HER FANS.

Machida is good at what she does, but is not so much an entertainer, and no one but the hardcore would pony up the cash to watch up like they would Liddell, Couture, Lesnar, or Ortiz fight. He probably has as much pull as a Nogueria match.
Wow, you owned my thread and made my point at the same time.

Good post!

What about vice versa?

That would be the dragon entering a dragon I guess.

Machida Vs Dion, Dana make it happen!
Against Dion would he still run? or does he just run away from men?
I reckon Celine's chin is begging to be tagged, he'd have to engage.

I mean the amount of Machida threads for the last month is staggering, Dana white obviously knows what a buzz his fighter is creating.
Any publicity is good publicity.
