We should also consider that it is 5 round fight, I would give the edge to Machida as the fight advances to championship rounds.

It should come down to the striking where Luke is better.
Both have great kicks but Machida has one punching technique which is the straight left, he'll only ever throw with his right effectively in a flurry, but that's after he's hurt someone with the left.
He's going to have to try and land that left against a fellow south paw which is not easy. never mind the fact that Rockhold is tall and has a great right check hook on top of it.
Both guys can be passive though, so i can't see it being a complete blow out from Rockhold but still a clear cut decision.

The year 2014 ended with a beautiful and devastating liver shot with Machida finishing Dollaway in round 1.
Coincidence?
yes.
I can't wait to see this fight.
