This really is a hard one.
Phil Davis said after their fight that Machida either ko's you or it goes to a decision. Machida's unreliable at decisions because he doesn't score a lot of points due to his elusive style but the other guy may not score points either if he can't hit Machida.
I just can't see Moussai being ko'd due to his K1 and boxing background and never being ko'd in MMA. However he's never fought anyone as unortodox as Machida, although he's saying that he's training with a karate guy who he thinks is better than Machida (in his opinion arguably)
I just don't see many high level strikers on Machida's MMA record and he's only ko'd fighters with wrestling backgrounds since beating Rua. You could say the same about Moussai who's only ko'd 1 guy since 2009.
I just can't see either guys being ko'd. For thqat reason I think this is going to a decision but I don't know who's going to win yet. That's my rationale so far anyway. I'll may my mind up fully on Saturday

I pick Machida to win the fight.
And I also pick Vitor Belfort to win his fight with Chris Weidman, giving Belfort the title.
This potential scenario would set up a Belfort vs. Machida fight later in the year. And that will be a wowser of a battle royal. One way or another, I simply must see Belfort vs. Machida!
And that would also set up a 'loser's' fight. Weidman vs. Mousasi.
