looks good. 2 undefeated go up against each other.
champion Suga? Rashad Evans defends his title against Lyoto ?The Dragon? Machida.
Machida is the favorite :Q

also, grudge match of 2 former champions:
Matt Hughes vs Matt Serra
Serra has been trash talking Hughes for YEARS. They were suppose to fight a year ago, but Serra was injured.
no idea who the favorite is.

How is Machida favored. He is so unimpressive and boring to watch. I don't like Evans but at least he's not scared to engage.

Machida isn't scared...he's just that methodical
Once he has an opening, he destroys

When I think destroy I think Fedor Emalienko, Liddell in his prime, Rampage, Anderson Silva. Machida and destroy in the same sentence. You're kidding?

I don't see how Machida isn't gonna be favored in this fight. I don't think any of his fights have been close yet ( I have only seen the last 3 or 4 though). Maybe he doesn't "destroy" but he has certainly dominated each of his opponents.

Machida has a good chance. he is not flashy with KO power like many. but he gets a opening and attacks. eventually he wears down his oppenant and wins. it should be a good fight.


Serra vs hughes should be good. they really don't like each other and both are very strong with the power to knock the other out. hughes has the experiance but he has been on a loseing streak. also i wouldnt count out Serra. he did knock out GSP

Can anybody PM me a suggestion on the best method of streaming this thing? I know there is justin.tv? if that's still viable, but even that I'm not too familiar with. I used to use a program that streamed video channels, but I'm not sure if that's still viable either. Any help would be appreciated.

Machida will be boring because he fades and not brawls, but is a fvcking sniper with his kicks and punches when he sees an opening.

Ha, serra if finally fighting hughes. :D

For the sake of serving one of ufc's greatest facials, I'm rooting for hughes. :)

I usually have decent luck with channelsurfing.net or justin-tv.

The last several of these ufc events I've watched online....my internet connection mysteriously "breaks" right in the middle of of the broadcast. I end up resetting my cable modem and fooling around with things for about 20 minutes before it comes back. Not sure what the dealio is with that.....

Using sopcast on the mma-tv channel. Google it.

Evans vs Machida is gonna be awesome... or boring. Machida is ridiculously good, but I've learned not to ever count out Evans, so this one is an even match-up in my mind.
