I think Lyoto is a very bad machup for chuck liddell. Liddel is a striker who controls his distance very well but machida is really elusive. With that said, i think it will be very hard for Liddel to keep his striking distance and Machida will keep controling the fight as he always does, leaping side to side, and will endup winning by decision. I really don't see Liddell wining this match.

Thoughts?

Machida, Starnes, Werdum, you can just keep these guys. Watch the Shamrock - Le fight, and then right after watch the Ortiz - Machida fight...Its obvious. Machida is scared to get his butt whooped.

Against Lidell he would probably win a unanimous decision. It would be the most boring fight of Lidells career. You cant beat someone who is fighting "not to lose" rather than to "whoop some a++" Lidell had trouble with the awkward style of Keith Jardine. This would literally be like playing bingo at an old folks home.

Machida...dude, you obviously have skillz...but one question...Are you tough?

I would rather watch Keith Jardine fight and lose in a 30 second bombfest, than sit and watch Machida backpedal, and basically avoid mixing it up at all costs in a three round snoozer.

Seriously, my hope is that Fabricio Werdum, Starnes, and Machida go and populate a new MMA organization. They could backpedal, and refuse to engage, and have tons of boring decisions.

I paid 50 bucks to see a fight.

You are an absolute imbecile, what makes a man tough in your opinion? Perhaps stepping into a cage/ring with some of the best fighters in the world 13 times and winning each fight? If you aren't convinced he's tough, watch the Stephan Bonnar fight.

You would piss your pants if you ever had to step into the ring with Machida.

MMA is a huge sport, and in order to be successful you must be much, much more than 'tough'
