So it's between Lyoto, Wand and Thiago.

Hate on Lyoto all you want for his style but Nakamura and Soko both showed more aggression than Tito did and thus made Machida fight more. I think had Lyoto finished Tito in the 3rd he might be might have got the shot.

I can see Wand jumping to the front of the queue with his destruction of Jardine and the fact that Wand/Page 3 is the biggest money maker out of all of them. It will give them an excuse to educate UFC fans on the history of PRIDE between those two. This is ofcourse assuming Jackson actually beats Forrest.

Machida!

I'd say Machida or Wanderlei vs. Machida

Are you serious? Lyoto's style is a nightmare for anyone, but absolute perfection for fighting Chuck Liddell. How do you beat a guy with a great sprawl? Judo trips. How do you beat a heavy handed counterpuncher? Counter him and don't get hit.

As for who gets the title shot, with Jardine KTFO, Lyoto is most deserving by about 100 miles. Liddell and Wanderlei, however, are Dana's boys.

They're a lot more fun to watch, He's good, but if everyone fought like Machida it'd be hard to keep asses in the seats.

The UFC would never let that match take place, because they wouldn't want to see Chuck lose to a much better fighter.
