UFC 89: Rashad Vs Machida
Holy crap, did anyone else see this event? What a performance by the winner...
yeah, the Reff kicks arse.
spoiler below




Yeh, i thought Rashad would atleast test Machida, but his karate stance is so much different to anything else, and hes gonna be so hard to beat..

id say, if Anderson beats Griffin, maybe it could be Machida Vs Silva?
Machida and Anderson silva will probably never fight because they trained together and are "friends".

Rashad's footwork is very flawed, and it looks like his plan was to counterstrike Machida, when machida has better footwork and a more efficient fighting style. rashad landed about 2 decent shots in the whole fight.
Even Rashad's own trainers say that his footwork can be improved. And there's the things that the general MMA fighter does and gets away with that rashad did... that machida capitalized on. Machida basically does the same thing every fight, for the last 8 years or so. he has just gotten better and better and no has beaten him yet... I'd really like to know how specific and detailed greg jackson's gameplan was for machida, but I never will since I'm not on their team...

I'd like to see Gegard Mousasi in the UFC... but that's unlikely.
