Lyoto Machida, has said that come October 24th, he will have Plans A, B and C. Mauricio 'Shogun' Rua's camp calls this and raises them with Plan D, a blueprint of how everyone can beat Lyoto. Andre Dida, Shogun's coach, spoke to terra.com.br (translated by Fighters Only) about it:
"He is very confident. He’ll face a striker and he is trained for it. It won’t be only a stand-up fight but Mauricio is ready to surprise everybody. Shogun is well-trained. We worked knowing that Lyoto is an athlete who moves very much. We know how this fight will go and have A, B, C and D plans. Shogun will know all the moves from Machida"
"For the pace of fighting that Lyoto forces, always looking for the knockout, I think this fight won’t go past the third round. Shogun will knock out him in the 3rd round for sure. Shogun is going to be the unique guy to show the world how to beat Lyoto. Everyone will learn how to beat Machida so on"
