    Machida, flawless victory. Rashads fast? Did anyone see Machida blazing with those straight punches and kicks. Rashad will look like minced meat after this fight. I love Rashad, his work ethic and attitude is great. But he beat Forrest and Chuck..Forrest was a good fight and Chuck well thats one shot. Machidas body of work and the breakdown of his fights are scary. Rashads problem is that he isnt a busy fighter, he cant win against Machida picking his spots, thats Lyotos bread and butter

    I think Machida would frustrate Evans & beat him convincingly.

    I see machida making the same mistake as chuck.The only difference is Lyoto steps back simultaneously while on the offense so Rashad will have to through the counter while moving forward and pressing him towards the cage

    basically slip/punch/clinch/attempt takedown/dirty boxing.

    sorry evans is over rated. forrest has no chin and no ko power thats the only reason rashad beat him. chuck is way past done and rashad just confirmed it. i mean the guy hasnt won a ud in the ufc just split and majority decisions. machida will easily beat him
