All Machida does is backpedal. Machida is overrated and people exposed his game. He will not beat Jon Jones, Rashad has the best chance.

Oh, and one more thing Machida is THIRD in line right now. So he's waiting a good year to get his shot IF he gets his shot (which means he has to keep winning) so a trilogy with Shogun ruins him from ever getting back to the top.

Lyoto lost to Shogun twice and got beat by Rampage via UD. He beat Randy Couture on his retirement fight.. How is he third in line for a title shot?

Jones will lose within his next couple fights, I'm sure of this. He hasn't looked as dominant as say, Lesnar and look how far he has fallen.

@michigandolphin, Machida won't get into Jones' range, Jones will have to get into HIS range. Or if he chooses not to engage...

@minotauro you just sound like a hater right now. What does showing a gif of him ko'ing a 47 year old prove? Vera also knocked him down and Jones broke Vera's face.... All Machida does is move backwards and that's not a gameplan that would work against JBJ who can cover like the entire cage with his reach.

@wolfman, I could be wrong, but I don't see Bones winning at HW at all. I thought Page kind of proved that his biggest asset is his massive reach, he wouldn't have this advantage at HW. I doubt he beats Cain, JDS, Overeem, Lesnar, even the second tier would give him trouble. I'd take (although I'm sure many won't) Mir, Cormier, Carwin, Barnett and Browne.

I don't think he has a massive wrestling advantage over everyone he fights. He was almost unable to take down Rampage and without a massive size and strength advantage I don't see him getting any of those guys to the floor.

@greg, I'm not very angry, i saw this coming. I honestly believe Machida matches up perfectly with him and that he didn't look so great tonight. Have I said anything irrational in my rants? (if so...it was probably misinterpreted)

I don't think Rampage is the number two LHW.

LOL @ Machida being overrated. He got caught by shogun, lost a close fight to Rampage (some call it BS).

Knocked out Thiago Silva (no-one else has)
Knocked out Rashad Evans (no-one else has)

He couldn't present Bones with any problems? He trains with Anderson Silva (the only other dynamic striker in the UFC with a 84ish inch reach.)

Please

@fglop, the gif of him ko'ing Couture just shows he doesn't need to be in the pocket to deliver damage. He is a diverse striker and he can make up for the range lost to Jones. I'm not out here saying he'd kill Jones, I just think if Jones tries to backpedal and throw kicks to keep range like he did against Rampage, Machida has the ability to catch him.

I feel like people think I'm yelling all of this.

I think everybody is still a bit drunk off of the JBJ Koolaid.

I agree that he wont have the same success at HW which is where he will likely be soon
