    Hindsight is beautiful, isn't it?

    He was "the man" and he just got completely outclassed by a fighters who has been outclassing most if not all of his opponents up to this point.

    Nobody had knocked out Evans until tonight, and he's been in the octagon with Liddel among others.

    Machida is simply a master of the fight game. Impeccable timing. A defensive genius. As stacked as light-heavyweight is in the UFC, Machida is going to be the reigning champ for a long time IMO

    Anderson would be the best 205lber if he wants it.

    I think people want to see guys put their heads down and swing away, Machida swings he just is very patient and accurate. For some reason people think its boring.

    If i could draw a comparison - and i've been saying this for a long time now - Machida reminds me of a prime, more attacking version of Floyd Mayweather

    Rampage has an iron chin and heavy hands, he would tear right through Rashad.

    How anyone can rehash Jackson after this fight is beyond me, He would have to come to the ring allowed to use his giant chains to even have a possibility of beating Lyoto.

    Rashad has more power than Jackson, is faster than Jackson, and is a better wrestler than Jackson. Rampage is a glorified streetfigher
