"We can work it out"

*Dana can say how great this card became with all the finishes but it wasn't the same without Logan Stanton! UFC, you ruined a part of MMA for me!*

"Boring" Rashad Evans! Okay fine you can ripe on me for saying that after Rashad's win and after a pretty decent fight card. But the most exciting part of the fight was when Silva put his hands down to draw Evans in and almost finishes the Rashad on his feet.

The last thing I want to do is get my hopes up because Dana has failed me too many times. The Rashad vs Rampage fight will happen, that is a no brainer but are you ready for this? This is JUST rumors BUT the co-main event at UFC 113 may be the Rashad vs Rampage bout. So whats the other co-main event? Only the long awaited rematch between Shogun and Machida! I hope you guys are ready for war! Whats so special about UFC 113? I'm planning to go there with my cousin (Dennis) to Montreal! Right after 2nd term, how perfect is that?? Too perfect.....

Is that your best battle face Machida??

5 things that may go wrong:

1) An injury occurs (if so, please make it less servear than what happened to Brock Lesnar)
2) We aren't able to get tickets (they get sold out in 24 hours)
3) Something comes up and either me and/or Dennis aren't able to go
4) The fight does not happen because Rampage will be busy shooting the sequel of the A-Team
5) Dana doesn't put the fight on the card so he can stack another card not in Canada

Time for some Black on Black Violence!

UFC, please make this happen!

Robbed in L.A.

MMA Fan 1: Omg! Shogun was robbed in L.A.!
MMA Fan 2: Where did he get robbed? He was probably in Compton and ran into a gang right?
MMA Fan 1: No... it was the 3 judges at the Staple Center who robbed Shogun tonight.

Thats right Machida won like everyone said he would, but he should thank the judges for the victory, not himself. The fight was an extremely technical stand up fight where it never even touched the ground. Shogun gave Machida plenty to worry about with kicks from every angle possible. This just shows how kicks are under utilized in the UFC today. The fight reminded me of how Keith Jardine defeated Chuck Liddell by using ruthless body kicks and how Forrest Griffin defeated Rampage for the title with the hard leg kicks. The only difference is they won their fights and Rua came out empty handed.
All 3 judges gave the fight a decision of 48-47 in favour of Machida. I had it 49-46 Rua by giving the 3rd round to Machida. Even Machida looked surprised when he heard Bruce Buffer calling him out as the winner. You hear it over and over again but I guess you can never leave it in the hands of the judges. If GSP was at the arena he would tell Machida "I was not impressed by your performance." I think if Vin Diesel has taught us anything its that it doesn't matter if you win by a mile or win by an inch, a win is a win. Enough with the bullshit of "you have to clearly beat the champ to be the champ". This reminds of of the fight in the U.K. where Bisping got a judges decision over Hamill. Its as if the UFC is turning in to the WWE! I left WWE for a reason, please don't start acting like them.

I would like to see Anderson Silva vs Shogun to see who is the number 1 contender. The only problem is if Shogun won the fight his 2nd title shot would come too soon. Perhaps Anderson Silva vs Rashad Evans would also do the job.

Its time to slay the Dragon!

Lyoto Machida is finally defending his belt this Saturday against Mauricio "Shogun" Rua at UFC 104. I really hope I have time to watch it even if I doubt I will since I have midterms. Regardless of whether I will be able to watch this live or not I'll make sure to download it.

I know there are a lot of people cheering for Shogun but this isn't 3 years ago. Shogun is a different fighter now. He had his 1st loss in the UFC against Forrest Griffen, someone I wouldn't even consider in the top 5 light heavyweights in the world. He has had 2 knee surgeries and his conditioning did not look great against Mark Coleman. In his last fight he knocked out "The Iceman" but you have to remember this is a Chuck Liddell who should have retired 3 fights ago. None the less the TKO was impressive but was it as nice as Machida's KO against Rashad Evans?

If this was back in Pride a few years ago I would give the fight to Shogun, but now I would have to stick to Machida. If Shogun has any chance surviving he has to take this fight to the ground and hope he locks down a submission.

I don't want to jump the gun here because anything can happening in the cage but if Machida does win, who will he fight? I do not see another #1 contender. Rampage was an option but who knows how long it will take him to realize he belongs in the UFC. Maybe after the fact he realizes hes not an actor!

Now this is hard to say because Anderson Silva is not sure if he can take on Belfort because of his elbow surgery. Every one knows I don't even believe Belfort deserves that title shot. So here is what I purpose. Why not let the middleweight champion face the light-heavyweight champion if he survives Shogun. In my eyes Anderson is the only person who can "slay the Dragon ". This idea would give great publicity such as the BJ Penn vs GSP fight did. I would consider both Anderson and Machida in my top 5 pound for pound best fighters in the world and this fight would make any fight card one to remember.
