TheSomberlain , I’m pretty sure Machida had no plans moving up to HW to fight Sylvia. And we know Timmy can’t make 205

I agree too that we are keep getting crappy fighters on our cards…Ive been to UFC 70, 75, 80, 85 and will be at 89, we keep getting the likes of Marcus Davis, Jess Liaudin, Paul Taylor! They can be pretty good to watch when they perform well…but I’d like to see some others fighters and not them every card, we have Bisping most of the time which I think is enough to please the british crowd! And theres those undercard fights (which is what I mean by crappy fighters) which ends up being 3 round boring fights….to be honest Ive had enough of Bisping and I actually hope Leben wins, I cant see Bisping ever winning the middleweight title with the likes of Franklin, Henderson, Silva etc So I hope next time round the UFC brings other foreign fighters and not British fighters all the time!

Machida is overrated? How is that? Dude is a great striker and doesn’t get hit. And his ground game is good as well. I know most people like to see guys take damage and get bloodied up, but I for one admire his technique.

Agree with Jeremy – no reason for them to put Machida up against a no-name. But I don’t want to see him vs Shogun either (yet). Let Shogun beat up a can or two first. Nobody at the bars (the casual fans) have a clue who Shogun is. He should have a chance to look GOOD and stand out a bit before risking his potential drawing power against a dude like Machida.

what is Chris Byrd known for? his movement and elusiveness to the point of being annoying, or getting ktfo in his last fight? but yeah, Chris Byrd to Machidas’ liver is a terrible comparison. Grappo was very buzzed last night.

just sayin… you think the man Machida is elusive, you should see his liver. it bobs and weaves like Chris Byrd. it feels a strike coming and quick jumps up behind the lungs. Franklin will be lucky to tag a piece of large intestine.

Say what you will, Franklin fighting forest, liddell, machida, and even cry baby rua. Would all be great matchups.
