This matchup could determine who faces the winner of the Weidman vs. Belfort championship fight.
My Prediction: I think Machida will win this fight. Rockhold is currently enjoying a three fight win streak, but his most notable win was against Michael Bisping via submission. The last time he tried to step up vs elite competition, he was KOed by Vitor Belfort. Rockhold has yet to prove he can hang with the upper crust of the divison.
Here is the rest of the main card for Sat night:
#1 Ronaldo "Jacare" Souza vs Chris Camozzi (fill in for Romero injury)
#5 Cub Swanson vs #9 Max Holloway
#8 Felice Herrig vs #12 Paige VanZant
Prelims start at 6PM ET (also on Fox)

I have no problem having it moved after a while. It is normal protocol to post it on the main board, so that it gets the most views/exposure possible.

Thanks for posting that you have posted that.

Don't like the matchup but always hoping Machida wins unless he fights Henderson.
Both of them were my favorites in that fight.

Dana White says Rockhold has a horse cock so Getbiggers should just watch the weighin. No homo.

Like to see Machida win by spectacular ko.

Im sure he would get a rematch with Weidman, in that case.
I just dont envision Weidman holding onto the belt for much longer. He got off easy in those bouts with Anderson Silva, and he went a 5 round unanimous decision with Machida. I wonder if he can survive the initial onslaught that Belfort will bring.
-
That's gonna boring, with two counter attackers....I'll pass.
I'll be watching Matthysse/Provodnikov
Fight of the year possibility
-
Machida been in so many wars. I just think the day is coming when he won't be at the top of his game. No one gets out of this fight game intact.

isn't there an mma board for this stuff ???

What wars. A guy like Shogun has been in wars. Machida is so elusive he has barely taken any damage. He either kos you quick as fuck or he dances around to a decesion.

I will make sure that they move it to the UK board. It will give you something to do :-*

Luke is a complete fighter, he is a hardworker that's for sure, but isn't spectacular at something.
Machida on the other hand gave Weidman a tough fight, Weidman was loosing the later rounds.
Machida can win this by UD, Luke won't catch Machida.

thanks brah
I didn't realise you could move threads from the g and o 8)

Machida has some of the most beautiful striking in mma history. He is one of the best fighters alive today. I think prime Machida beats prime Anderson 8-10 times. Anderson said Lyoto gets the better of him sparring, bigger, about as quick, stronger,sharper defensively.
one of the best kos you will ever see

On another note: This Paige VanZant chick looks hot as hell. I hope she fights as good as she looks.

Major hype due to her looks, good boxing dirty in the clinch but tends to get thrown to the ground easily
-
Machida is going to lose tonight. Luke is primed and ready to go. Plus Machida had a terrible cut. He looks out of shape and instead of dieting he just dehydrated to lose the pounds up to an hour before weigh-ins. Also it looked like he might have some sort of injury to his left shoulder.
When taking his shirt off to weight he grimaced in pain badly.
So I think Luke takes this one. He's much bigger and as the fight goes into the later championship rounds it just goes into Luke's favor. Unless Machida can catch him in the first then it's Luke's fight to lose.

Holloway shock UD v swanson
Herrig tko v van zaint
Dariesh sub v miller
OSP tko v cummins
Anderson KO v Villante
-
The Paige VanZant vs Felice Herrig fight was sexy as hell. Paige is a beast at only 21yrs of age.
-
Hell yes!
Incredibly sexy fight. The director had to be careful with several of those camera angles.
-
Jacare Souza will be a problem for the middleweight champ.
-
Luke Rockhold..very impressive.

Thank you very much..
I CALLED IT RIGHT. Luke is Da'Man.
-
Rockhold fucking manhandled Machida.
Do you guys think he deserves a title shot now, or should he face Jacare for a chance at the belt?

Spot on.
Machida just didn't look right.

Yeah, he was wobbling around like a drunken master after he took that elbow to the dome.

Yeah, you could tell there wasn't gonna be a third round, but, even during the first round he didn't seem crisp.
-
easy win

elbow to the head is never good. Well, usually not good. Sometimes it just feels so right.

Styles make fights ;D Belfort knocked him stiff as a board a few fights back.

You mean juiced to the gills Belfort. Outside of that one loss Rockhold has beaten plenty of top quality opponents in his last half a dozen fights.

No kidding Rockhold didn't look natty last night.

He has beaten "good veteran" fighters. I would be hesitant to say they were top quality.
Keith Jardine (really? :D)
Tim Kennedy
Costas Philippou
Tim Boetsch
Michael Bisping
I will give him credit where it is due, he looked great against Machida, and he has won the fights against good competition.
But we are now talking about the Elite category of fighters. Weidman, Jacare, and Anderson Silva etc....
Rockhold is 1-1 recently against "elite" competition. He will get his chance.
-

On the contrary, Machida looked soft and flabby as fuck :D
Speaking of being gassed up.......Jacare Souza was looking big for a middleweight as well.

Yes, I believe the "Natty UFC" experiment has concluded.

Rockhold was throwing Machida around like a rag doll.
Back to the juicin' baby!

Luke looks likes he's juiced, it wouldn't surprise me if he was. He is probably the leanest most muscular middleweight going around. I think the majority of guys from middleweight and up are taking some sort of PED's. For some reason Belfort just rubs me up the wrong way (perhaps it's all the self righteous Jesus bullshit), so labeling him a cheating juice monkey just makes me feel better.

As an aside, does everyone in the UFC have to have a stupid nickname? It's the UFC, not Getbig.
"Twelve Gauge" Paige Vanzant
CB "The Doberman" Dollaway
Roy "The Fat Fuck" Nelson

Don't forget he also beat Jacare at Strikeforce.
So, technically, the only two elite fighters he has yet to face are Weidman and Silva. Silva won't be fighting anytime soon, so it's really down to just Weidman.

Too long ago for the Jacare fight.
Both gius have evolved since then.
They were saying that Jacare might be the best BJJ practitioner in the world right now.
Not to mention the fact that he looks juiced to the gills (for an mma fighter)
Im glad that there looks to be some good matchups ahead, regardless.

Jacare is certainly in the top 10 JiuJitsu practitioners in the world.
He definitely is one of the best (top 3) JiuJitsu guys in MMA, but to say he is the best is not exactly an easy statement to make. Demian Maia and Fabricio Werdum are both world-class BJJ practitioners. I think in a purely JiuJitsu based match, Werdum and Jacare can tie 5-5 out of 10 matches.
I am just happy that in the Middleweight division, Chris Weidman has Vitor Belfort, Jacare Souza & Luke Rockhold ahead for competition. These are all great fights.
I can't wait for the Jones vs Johnson Pay Per View. That card is incredibly stacked.

when it comes to BJJ the best ive seen come to MMA is Roger Gracie. He was way too lean to be 170 (6ft 4) and his striking is less than stellar but i believe his BJJ is beyond that of even Werdum.
Madness to think that ive seen Frank Mir ranked above him in certain "polls".
Just my opinion.

As you cats may remember (or not) I worked for Strikeforce for several years. I met Luke in 2009. Luke trains at AKA in San Jose and I live in San Francisco. I am down at AKA every few months. I have seen Luke every few months for 5-6 years. He always looks the same. He is never soft or out of shape. I know for a fact his diet is always tight. When he's prepping for a fight his diet is fanatical. Not bodybuilding fanatical, but fanatical.
Is he natural? He just might be. Here's something that helps me believe he might be natural-
-Luke does not train with weights, ever. He does not. It's crazy. All the AKA guys lift weights, Cain Valasquez, Daniel Cormier, Josh Thompson but Luke does not. Amazing genetics.

One of the best was a ref at the show:
Vitor "Shaolin" Ribeiro
That said, for a combination of BJJ and athleticism, I'll go with Jacare.

Valid points, no doubt. Jacares athleticism puts him over right now, but on current form i see Luke beating him again. When you look at Rogers record in BJJ, its a whos who of world champions he has wins - in some cases multiple wins -over. Sure hes lost on occasion but Sperry, Ribeiro, Machado, Jacare, Werdum, Maia, Garcia... i dont see anyone better than him in MMA at pure BJJ.
Maybe Royce was right, why try to dilute your skills by utilising boxing, wrestling etc when you train your whole life to choke someone out / submit them. At its purest level im not sure the elite practitioners actually need boxing & wrestling, if & when they get hold of you its more than likely game over.
