Machida vs Gustafsson Needs to Happen Now

Lyoto Machida Does Not Want To Fight Alexander Gustafsson

Lyoto Machida declines fellow light heavyweight contender Alexander Gustafsson requests to fight him saying that it makes no sense for him to take that fight when he has been promised a title shot next.  There is no reason for Machida to take a fight with Gustafsson now since it is high risk and no reward.  Especially if Dana makes good on his promise that he will face the winner...

Three hypothetical fights to make for Lyoto Machida if he doesn’t want to wait around for Jon Jones and Chael Sonnen’s fallout.

What if something horrible happens to Chael and or Bones Jones at their UFC 159 showdown and we have a light heavyweight champion out for six months to  a year with an injury? Right now, Lyoto Machida is sitting on the sidelines, presumably waiting for his next shot at the title, but this is MMA, and strange things happen. The last thing we want to see is Lyoto doing nothing for...
