I put my bet on Shogun. The odds are good if he wins and i dont really think Machida is the second coming of Anderson Silva as most other people seem to believe.
Rep be damned- I love me some Machida and I love me some Shogun and even though I think Lyoto's style is an uber tough match up for Shogun I'll take the odds and bet 1 million on Rua. I really don't care who wins this but when 2 fighters I really like fight I root for the underdog so I'll go with Shogun. :thumbsup:
