Who cares about a double negative, the guy talked that way the whole time. If its the way he was raised to talk then it has nothing to do why his subconscious trying to tell the truth. Anyway I think people missed the humor in this interview. Vera punked out the interviewer. Lol I gotta say the interviewer was kissing his ass in the end.

Vern you beat me to the punch. Indeed, “I ain’t dodging nobody” equates to “I am dodging somebody”. I guess all fighters can’t have a command of the english language like Kenny Florian, but it would be nice if these fighters actually had a basic knowledge of it.

Nobody can blame him for dodging Machida, however. The guy is technically amazing.

I have no interest in seeing Jardine v Machida. I think Machida should get the Rampage/Forrest winner, but if that doesn’t happen, then they could put him in against Thiago for the next shot.

The fight I personally want to see Thiago v Wandy for a title shot after Machida gets one.

Your brain sometimes functions subconsciously like that Vern. When you are trying to lie (in this case about ducking) it figures out a why to tell the truth. In this case the double negative.

Isn’t the quote in the lede a double negative that means he is dodging somebody? Like when Melvin Guillard said I ain’t no bitch?

dogging machida may be smart but if you dog machida you best dog silva and henderson. i guess henderson and silva are just punks like reese and haven’t earned the respect that machida has in his huge victories.

Perhaps he should have dodged Werdum some more in that fight and he might have won.

He most certainly is ducking Machida. And I understand why.

I’m in full agreement for Thiago Silva vs Machida. We need to see how Machida deals with an agressive opponent like that. Also, because of his last fight a lot of people are making Machida out to be non aggressive. But just look at his fight against Sokodjou. He really took it to him and totally owned him all over the cage. I think Machida adapts to who he is fighting and fights the intelligent fight. Thiago Silva is the perfect matchup, they are both undefeated, Thiago is hungry. Houston Alexander is another possibility. Someone that will take the fight to him.

@ #6: A lot of fans would appreciate Silva-Machida, (I would!) but even i Dana actually believes in Machida I think he is business savvy enough not to go there. Isn’t Silva a bit of a tentative golden boy right now? I mean, he fights exciting, looks cool and is aggressive. And is a good fighter.

Machida makes people look bad. I wonder if UFC – outside of a title match, which is a different deal – would given him to someone without an already tainted record. Jardine seems like a logical choice. Jardine is higly respected, but has taken a few heavy losses and won’t really loose that much in market value if he loses against Machida.

Then, of course, I don’t think that anyone can imagine Jardine beating Machida. Thiago Silva might, Rampage might. But what will outside punchers like Jardine and Griffin do to beat him? Outstrike with distance punches? Sounds like scifi to me.

But still, I believe that the Jardine match might happen.
