Lyoto Machida (L) puts his UFC light heavyweight title on the line against Mauricio “Shogun” Rua October 24th. I expect this fight to go to Machida. Matter of fact, I am surprised that Shogun was picked to fight Machida so soon. Though Shogun was supposedly a top contender years ago, he lost to Forrest Griffin, and looked slow and off in recent fights. He has one good recent win against Chuck Liddell who lost his past few fights all via knockout. So what chance does Shogun have when even Rashad Evans was bashed my Machida, I say not much. I guess Machida via TKO 2nd Round.

Fedor Emelianenko (30-1) will be fighting November November 7th on CBS Strikeforce. Emelianenko will be facing undefeated Brett Rogers (10-0) at the Sears Centre in Hoffman Estates, Illinois. Fedor Emelianenko is a legend in the MMA world and we look forward to seeing him back in the ring after the Affliction Promotion, which Fedor previously was in, went out of business.
