Who do you think is gonna break Lyoto "The Dragon" Machidas undefeated streak. In my opinion I think that the person to defeat Machida is gonna be Rashad Evans if they give him another chance. I think Rashad Evans can beat Machida this time because now he would know what to expect. Who do you guys think can beat Machida?

Probably Matt Hughes.

But really, A. Silva would have a good chance but they wont fight. Shogun and Dan Henderson are the only 2 people in the division that I give a chance too right now but they would both lose. Jon Jones may be able to beat him in a couple years. He needs more experience and when he gets it he will be a monster.

There is already a thread on this somewhere but I didn't feel like looking for it.

I've said it before, and I'll say it again: The first person to beat Macheeto will be the first person to effectively use leg-kicks against him.

It's clear (and he's even said) that his style depends on staying away from people, getting it and out QUICKLY. Without that speed, he's going to have a MUCH harder time.

I don't think so, one of Rashad's biggest tools was being able to fake people and make them react. Machida called his bluff every time. That and the fact that he had a solid chin, knowing he is able to be KO'ed may completely change him for the worse, we really won't know till we see him in another fight.
