The loser has to be happy with their multiple titles and hall of fame plaques while thewinner gets to fight again. Thats a money match.

Both are 16-9, and both are into their 40's. Randy should face Coleman. Both are 16-9, and both are into their 40’s.

His clinch work is second to none and I dont think Machida has the one punch power that Liddell was blessed with. I think this would be the closest a Machida fight would be in this new era.

I'd love to see this fight! Granted, I think Randy would lose. I think he stands the best chance of defeating Machida. Not with his athletic ability, not with his strength, power, or speed; but with his genius mindstate and strong will! Yeah, big time! I’d love to see this fight! Granted, I think Randy would lose.

There's no way he will defeat the dragon. Machida is to good for old randy and there is plenty of other good 205 fighter that should lose to machida b4 randy does.

Randy did come in and beat down Tim Sylvia and Gabe Gonzaga but he lost to Brock and I think Brock might be a little worse than Gabe or Tim just because of experience and don't get me wrong I think Randy would beat Brock if they had a rematch. But Brock isn't Machida. Machida is the best in his division and there is no questioning that. Taking a forty five year old man and throwing him in there with a guy who has never been beaten and has shown all around awesome skills and about to realize his full potential isn't a good idea. I hate to say it but Randy would lose probably by knock out. He got too aggressive with chuck and look what happened. Machida wouldn't let him take him down, he wouldn't let him get in close. Machida would be in and out and the fight would be over with. A fighter can only fight for so long and a fighters career usually ends after a devastating loss. If he steps in there with Machida, there will be a devastating loss and it won't be Machida's. Randy is good, real good, but I just don’t think he should step in the Octagon with Machida.

All of you have forgotten that, although he got taken down a couple of times, sustained relatively no damage, and got right back to his feet where he was able to inflict his own damage. Remember the huge shot that cut Lesnar wide open? In his other fights, Brock has just plowed right through his opponents in resounding fashion. This should be a testament to Randy, that he still has it, and can compete with the best of them. I like Randy's chances against Machida. If you look at the pre-UFC Machida fights, you'll notice the giant holes in his clinch and ground games - especially if he is on bottom against a powerful wrestler (watch the Sam Grecco fight). These are the areas where Randy outshines all others. Randy will close the gap, will bust Lyoto up with that dirty boxing, will get his body lock and take him down where he will pound on him from half-guard.
