I think they should make this fight happen due to all the chaos going on.

Obvious choice would be to go with Hendo right away, but Machida is hard to hit, let alone get close to. Anybody see him having a shot against Dan?

Wow. I've got to say Dan on this one. While I'm am sold on Machida's skills I think Dan would be the most difficult opponent he's ever fought. I don't think he's ready for Dan's strength (punching and wrestling).

Machida is a smart fighter, and he can definitley win this. Should be a very entertaining fight. Henderson gassed out for some reason after round 2-3. If that happens, Machida should take it.

I'll say Machida via Decision

Machida has a very unusual stance and as a result is hard to connect with. He has some how made the traditional Karate stance work for him in a MMA setting. So props to him for making that shit work. But I think Dan's superior wrestling is too much for Machida to handle and it will carry him to a UD victory.

ha. Henderson would box him up and knock him out. he has the same problems as GSP, no head movement, just body and evasive movement. he wont exchange more than a combination, and anyone who can box and hit hard as fuck would time Lyoto and put him on his ass.

and Dan can do it, i would bet on that.
