Lyoto Machida to defend UFC light heavyweight title against Mauricio “Shogun” Rua

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.
