I'm far more interested in seeing Machida take on Weidman than I was for the Belfort fight. I think Weidman would have taken Belfort down and dominated the bout for as long as it lasted. Machida's got better takedown defence but that might still happen to him. I'm really unsure who wins this one.
I really don't get the Machida is boring thing. He's always looking for the knockout, which is evidenced by him having knocked down opponents in the UFC more times than everyone but Anderson Silva, Chuck Liddell and Melvin Guillard. He doesn't throw pointless crap, which I guess is why people consider him boring and judges score his fights weirdly.
I've got a conspiracy angle of my own. I find it very interesting that the Sonnen/Wanderlei fight got moved to Brazil just a couple of weeks before TRT was banned in Nevada.
I love Rousey and am pretty meh about Cyborg but if Santos makes 135 she would destroy Rousey and probably ruin her career in films too.
How do you see that fight going if it happened? Cyborg doesn't put people out with one shot, she puts a prolonged beating on them until they're done. I don't see her doing that to Rousey before getting thrown on her head and armbarred.
