    I know Machida is elusive, but Rashad's speed is crazy. I really could see him taking a decision over Lyoto.

    I voted Machida. Hes been one of my favourite 205ers for a while now and I want to see him win the belt. Although it would be cool to see Evans retain the belt partly because I want to see how many Jackson camp fighters will have belts by the end of the year.

    If Rashad was at Thermopylae, the movie 300 woulda have a diffrent ending.

    I'd love to see Evans vs Rampage.. but it'll be Rampage vs Machida.

    I also don't find Machida to be a boring fighter. At least not for his last couple of fights.

    Tough call. If Evans can get Machida down he might be able to control him for a TKO or a decision win. But Evans fancies himself a boxer now and I think Machida will out point him on the feet.

    Taking Machida down is not easy task.. and I've seen him have no problems getting back up either.
    Evans doesn't have that dominating and controlling style of wrestling that could keep Machida down IMO.
