    I laughed.

    I also laughed at Dana saying Tito is in the mix. A year ago, Tito was a guy who apparently sucked and isnt a true fighter.

    What a joke Dana is.

    Please.
    Shogun can give him problem, Machida beat him, a couple of HW would beat him and Fedor completly trash him.

    You forgot one fight. Silva vs. God and then he can retire a legend.

    Where? On the feet. Absolutely not.

    Rua is getting ridiculously overrated. Hes going to get blitzed by Machida and if he fought Silva, he'd get the same thing Forrest got.

    Hes telling the truth with this one, Rua is going to get blitzed, he holds no advantages over Machida whatsoever and he is so ****ing sloppy with his punches that to tell you the truth, it will be a black-eye for MMA if Rua beats Machida. Rua shows putrid skills standing up with his wild kicks and haymakers its unfathomable for me to see him inning. His BJJ is overrated as hell, everytime I see him hes on his guard doing ****. MAchida would **** him and Lyotos a nice guy.

    :-( O dear... Since he's come to the UFC i havent seen the shades of insane talent he showed in PRIDE but how anyone can write him off is beyond me. Rua is no slouch on his back at all. His stand up skills are some of the best in the world. But the rulset in the UFC or the cage doesnt help ChuteBoxe fighters who used stomps and knee's to such an advantage. Machida is a very patient deliberating and precise striker but theres no way he just rolls over Rua like he's Forrest Griffin.
