Machida vs Shogun Rua UFC 104!
What do you think? Im not too confident Rua will win this one... Id like to see Rampage back in there contending for the title!

I think Rua needs to prove something. He'll be ready coming into this fight. I'm stoked!

I hope Shogun wins, I like both fighters, but have followed Shogun for years. He looks like he is finally dedicated, getting a nutrionist to help him, and having a new boxing coach, and Maia to help him with his BJJ. Machida will probably look to fustrate Shogun early and draw him in. As much as I like Rua, I think Machida wins this in the 2nd or 3rd round.

Should be a good matchup, as long as Rua comes in focused and in shape. Dude has all the talent in the world, but his work ethic has been a question lately.
As for Rampage, he'll be next in line for a title shot after he beats Evans. He was actually offered the Machida fight first, but chose instead to coach TUF and fight Evans--due to his "unfinished business" with Evans.
I must say that I am a little disappointed with the rest of the Rua-Machida card, it's pretty weak. Beyond the Velasquez/Rothwell fight, none of the other matchups are all that interesting. The UFC is spreading themselves a little thin doing 9 events in 5 months, and the fans are getting stuck with some sub-par events.
