Its Official: Shogun VS Machida 2


Its now official. Mauricio "shogun" Rua will be having his rematch against ufc light heavyweight champion Lyoto "The Dragon" Machida for the belt. The first fight which occured at ufc 104 was an amazing fight. In the end machida won a unanimous deision which was bull. shogun deserved the win, but i dont know what the judges were looking at... damn cecil peoples. Anyways i thought machida was gonna knock shogun out fast, but shogun put up a fight, and in my mind won. I still feel that after this fight machida learned his mistakes and will come out with the win this time only it will be in rightfull fashion. When you here the name machida you know its gonna be a good fight. Machida has tooken out the whos who in mma(including bj penn!) and has pretty much beaten them all in devistating fashion. his fight over rashad was hilarious, and it really showed how much rashad sucks. so enough on machida and his 16-0 record and his skill. Now its time to talk about shogun. When i saw there first fight at ufc 104 it was the first time i ever saw shogun fight, and ha it was cool. shoguns style is so much different than everyone elses. It benifits him and hurts him in ways. Shogun like to keep his feet close together and his hands far apart, which leaves him open for takedowns. but he keep his front foot light so he can throw it when he wants. Shoguns also beaten the who who in mma, but mostley in pride and mostley by aoccer kicks. wherever this fight goes i think it should be intresting. if it stay on the stand-up i think shogun has a slight advantage, but if it goes to the ground, which it probobly wont unless machida in deep trouble, then its all machida. i still think machida could take the win on the stand-up too though. whatever happens its gonna be one hell of a fight.
