Re: UFC 104: Machida vs. Shogun (Oct. 24th) No question that he could fight at MW. He'd be undersized at LHW right now (when he walks around at 220 he's added body fat).

Re: UFC 104: Machida vs. Shogun (Oct. 24th) It goes without saying that the main event will be a big fight for Brazilian fans.
Re: UFC 104: Machida vs. Shogun (Oct. 24th) The CSAC has told Big John he won't be assigned to UFC 104 this weekend. I didn't know there was a chance it could happen.
Re: UFC 104: Machida vs. Shogun (Oct. 24th) Lines... Lyoto Machida (-405) vs. Shogun Rua (+353) Cain Velasquez (-290) vs. Ben Rothwell (+280) Joe Stevenson (-225) vs. Spencer Fisher (+205) Anthony Johnson (-300) vs. Yoshiyuki Yoshida (+300) Ryan Bader (-412) vs. Eric Schafer (+355) Antoni Hardonk (-115) vs. Pat Barry (+115) Yushin Okami (-215) vs. Chael Sonnen (+200) I'm a bit surprised that Machida is such a heavy favourite.

Re: UFC 104: Machida vs. Shogun (Oct. 24th) It looks like good money on Shogun. I was definitely surprized by that line.

Re: UFC 104: Machida vs. Shogun (Oct. 24th) Sonnen over Okami seems like a good bet as well. I'm glad the vlogs are back. I like seeing these guys out of (or in?) their element. Hey, it's Craig Robinson!
Re: UFC 104: Machida vs. Shogun (Oct. 24th) Dana White and Co. passed out over 3,300 free tickets to UFC 104.
Re: UFC 104: Machida vs. Shogun (Oct. 24th) Damn, Mamba should of been cruising around LA looking for DW. coulda scored free tickets.
Re: UFC 104: Machida vs. Shogun (Oct. 24th) Damn it!!!! Why were they passing them out? Were they not selling? Is the UFC having money issues or something?

Re: UFC 104: Machida vs. Shogun (Oct. 24th) I never understood the hype behind Ben Rothwell and I think we'll see it finally end in the second round when Cain gets him in a bad position (side back control) and pounds him out. How Machida is a heavier favourite than Velasquez I have no idea.
Re: UFC 104: Machida vs. Shogun (Oct. 24th) It is because casual fans, media, and even some hardcores care a lot more about number of Ws and Ls, and not quality of competition. 30-6 looks very good, and people say that Kongo has no wrestling (and it is weak, especially compared to Div 1 Collegiate wrestlers), but Cain has a high percentage chance of doing the same thing he did to Kongo to Rothwell.
Re: UFC 104: Machida vs. Shogun (Oct. 24th) Man, I"m not much of a betting guy through those sites, but I'm definitely thinking about putting a big bet down on Shogun if the odds are still ridiculous. What's a good betting site for Canadians?
Re: UFC 104: Machida vs. Shogun (Oct. 24th) ^doesnt pinnacle do ufc betting? i've heard great things about them..
Re: UFC 104: Machida vs. Shogun (Oct. 24th) I don't want to speculate when we're talking about someone else's money.
