styles make fights, remember chuck lidells base is kenpo karate and he didnt fair to well with rampage. i believe rampage has the tools to beat machida, providing rampage sticks to a great game plan. remember royce? when he started beating everyone in the early 90,s ufc fights, it was because royce,s style was a style that many people didnt practice, once fighters started learning sub defense and subs all of a sudden royce and all the other bjj guys werent dominant like they once where. machida will get beat by rampage imo, im sorry guys but its hard for me to support a guy whos drinking his own urine, plus im a rampage fan anyway
