Lyoto Machida vs Mauricio Rua confirmed for UFC 104 on October 24

 

It’s time for some Brazilian-on-Brazilian crime.

 

MMAmania.com has learned that bout agreements have been signed for the light heavyweight title fight between newly-minted champion Lyoto Machida (15-0) and 2005 Pride FC Middleweight Grand Prix winner Mauricio Rua (18-3) for UFC 104 at the Staples Center in Los Angeles, California, on October 24.

 

“Shogun” is coming off a first round technical knockout of former 205-pound champion, Chuck Liddell, at UFC 97: “Redemption” last month. He defeated Mark Coleman via third round technical knockout in a lackluster performance earlier this year at UFC 93: “Franklin vs. Henderson” to earn a crack at the “Iceman.”

 

It’s perhaps not the match up that most fans expected, especially when UFC President Dana White was quick to announce that Quinton “Rampage” Jackson would be the first to challenge Machida for his newly-won world title. But that all went out the window a few days later when Jackson apparently pressed UFC officials to settle a score with Rashad Evans via The Ultimate Fighter (TUF) 10 first rather than compete to get his belt back.

 

That left "The Dragon" — who flattened Evans at UFC 98 to win the belt — all of a sudden without a number one contender … until now.

 

Despite his recent success, some UFC fans still aren’t sold on the abilities of Rua, who must now muster up some of the mojo he had during his blistering run in PRIDE to try and overcome an opponent who went from tentative to homicidal in the span of three figthts.

 

Machida will also try to stop the revolving door that has continued to spin atop the division afterChuckLiddell coughed up the 205-pound belt just over two years ago. In fact since May of 2007, the light heavyweight title has changed hands a total of four times.

 

No question Rua will be looking to make it five.

 

Stay tuned to MMAmania.com for more details on UFC 104 as they develop.

 

 

This will be a great fight. :thumbsupsmiley:

 

The 'Dragon' meets 'Shogun'

kapag natalo pa si Silva kay Franklin, magretire na sya

 

You're right, Sir. Rich already lost twice to one Silva (Anderson). He cannot afford to lose his fight to another Silva (Wanderlei). Not a good situation right now for 'Rich'. He needs to get back on track if he wants to remain in the UFC.

Not to take away anything from Shogun, but Shogun 2009 is different from Shogun 2006. The 2009 version is broken and lacks the steroids to jumpstart him, hehehehe... I'd say it will be the Dragon by anyway he wants... No one can take away the LHW belt from Lyoto, not just yet...

Yup. In my opinion, only his friend, The Spider, has the capability to beat him. Brandon Vera is long like Anderson Silva so there's a chance Vera could beat Machida in theory.

its possible if vera pushes hard & gets the nid of dana then he could possibly get a cracked at the LHW champ.

He is not called "Ol' Glass Chin" Arlovski for nothing, hehehehe! Sakit na nya yan and Freddie Roach cant do anything about that...

 

I dont know if many of you have watched this fight... or just search for Arlovski vs. Datsik fight videos.

 

A very entertaining fight, check out Datsik's jack knife move, heheheheh! The up-and-coming Arlovski's chin was exposed in that fight.
