This saturday I'm thinking Lyota Machida will beat Rua. And no matter how hard Ben hits, Cain will keep an up-tempo pace with too much pressure and will win. Those are the only fights that come to mind.

I'll pick Rua to win. His style seems to be a good match for Machida. He's extremely aggressive and his only downfall will be if he gets sloppy. Machida will find the smallest hole and use it to his advantage. His lackluster fight against Griffin was right after he had knee surgery and was unable to work on his cardio. Rua by knees...
Pro Picks on Sherdog overwhelmingly favor Machida 21-2. I just don't see Shogun being an easy walkthru. Looking forward to this weekend!!!
i love machida but i think shogun got robbed hard. however the first 2 rounds was very close so they might've leaned it more towards machida so it ended up being machida 3-2 rounds.
I Anyhow, in a crowded room it didn't seem there was a single person that thought Machida would get the decision.
Rua was robbed. His game was tight and he punished Machida's legs. Had this have gone another couple rounds, Machida wouldn't have been walking.
