Lyoto Machida (14-0) is the UFC light heavyweight division's number one contender. Currently we're counting down the days until Lyoto's showdown with champion Rashad Evans. Not one to underestimate his opponent, I'm sure Machida is ready. Always a competitor, though, Machida recently discussed the possibilities of future fights sometime down the road.

“I don’t think about fight at heavyweight division, but I think about a challenge, maybe against the heavyweight champion, but it’s time for it now. My focus, for sure, is on my division now, later is later. Maybe a fight against Brock Lesnar. He’s a huge guy, showed himself very aggressive and strong, who knows if one day we can fight… I respect him as a fighter, he’s very strong, but I’m professional and I’d like to test myself”, said Lyoto.
Brock is pretty quick, and I think Machida would really struggle to threaten him with strikes - so there would be little stopping Brock from closing in - though Randy managed to threaten him so by that logic Machida could - though... I don't know
Sorry, so you think Brock is the more well rounded MMA fighter against all his past competitors?
I have to disagree.
Why not? His wrestling was better than Randys and he was younger and faster. His Striking and ground game was better than Herrings. His top control was stronger than Mirs ability to defend off of his back. So I'm thinkin this is what won Brock these fights.
