UFC 98 brought out the fighter many wondered if Machida could be - fast, dominating, and destructive. I still haven’t heard any post-fight comments from Rashad. He must be licking his physical and mental wounds, and wondering what the hell happened.
This superfight between Lyoto and Anderson, as an idea, is much better than the actual match would be most likely. Much like a dog chasing a car or teenager’s sex fantasy, you will be let down. But Machida and Anderson are each going to be consistently argued as the Pound-For-Pound best fighters which, just like Highlander, there can be only one.
Anderson is bored at 185 and he destroyed James Irvin at 205 by doing something you only see in the movies - grabbing your opponent’s leg when they kick and knocking them out with one punch! If Anderson can make mince meat out of Forrest, and as much as I love watching the guy fight, I think Silva will. then I think you do the Superfight in February.
Forrest vs Silva in August, Lyoto vs Rampage soon thereafter, and if everything goes well, then Lyoto vs Silva. This takes care of Silva’s published boredom, gives Lyoto a fantastic challenge, and the viewers a can’t miss Pay-Per-View. Come on UFC, give this to us!
