If Shogun comes back healthy and can push a relentless pace then he has what it takes to beat Machida. I think he is better on the ground and can take Machida there if he chooses. Its an interesting matchup.

No this is terrible news.
This means I don't get to start the Thiago train F*ck.
Well I'm disappointed because this was a good fight IMO and was really going to show us a lot about both Thiago and Machida.
Hopefully they find a good replacement because UFC 89 needs more good MMA fights.

Wow this sucks even more than Parisyan pulling out. This is the one of the top two fights I was looking forward to!
No way Shogun could come back for the 89 card and all the other good LHW's are wrapped up so that means Lyoto gets a garbage fight at 89 or has to wait until Nov/Dec

Ah damn, I was really looking forward to that fight I wanted so bad for Thiago to mess Lyoto up.
Oh well, I'm sure the UFC will find a decent replacement, I've got no problems with them getting some bum off the street. Anyone with a chance to KO Lyoto I welcome. Houston Alexander/Machida anyone?
That would be fun.

Yay now Lyoto gets to smash a can...
I hope they find a legit replacement or they just push him back to November/December.
