Some of you might remember when Jones vs Jackson, I constantly posted wishing for a Jackson slam, stating I would consume the contents of my wardrobe. If Machida wins this fight via knockout or submission, I will post a video of myself, consuming a pair of underwear. COME ON MACCCCCHIDDDDDDDDDDAAAAAAAAAAAA

@p4p the UFC has a policy on interim belts:

If there is a definitive timetable for the champion's return, there will not be an interim title.   Cain's shoulder injury had a known timetable for recovery. 

As compared to Brock Lesnar - when he first was diagnosed with diverticulitis they didn't know if he would ever fight again.

@Swick... Rashad earned it by taking out Thiago Silva and Rampage.  The Tito fight was a fight to get in instead of waiting another who knows how long for a fight.

Thank you @Kalibo!!! People seem to forget he beat Thiago and Rampage on this streak too.

Rashad Evans: Earned title shot

  • W-Tito Ortiz (TKO) 2nd round
  • W- Quinton Jackson (decision)
  • W-Thiago Silva (decision)

 

Lyoto Machida: Gifted title shot

  • W-Randy Couture (KO) 2nd round
  • L- Quinton Jackson (decision)
  • L- Shogun Rua (KO) 1st round

Looks to me that Rashad has earned his shot at the belt and Machida just got lucky of the timing of Rashad's injury

I'd rather see Gustafsson get the title shot over a guy who's 1-2 in his last 3 fights.

I don't understand this at all.

I'd rather see him wait it out for Rashad and fight in FEB, but if th UFC wants a title fight they will get one.

@bk .. Wow!! I never even thought of that. That would be badass!... He would do great at LHW if he could make it without too much drain. Cane vs Barry to see who stays in the ufc hahahah Barry would knock him out, fast.
