Vera has looked really timid lately. For a guy with a striking advantage in his last fight, and usually, he should be getting off first, not looking to counter. Don't know if its the more powerful guys at HW, but he definately needs to move to LHW and take his chances there. Although LHW has more KO guys, they don't have as many BJJ or Wrestling guys that will put Vera in a counter attack gameplan. The other thing I noticed rewatching the Sylvia and Werdum fights, he telegraphs. His kicks, his punches, all were telegraphed. He needs to find a coach that'll break that habit.

Machida takes the decision. 30-27

Machida is a stud and only person i believe beats him right now is Wandy because Wandy will bum rush his ass and imo Lyoto doesn't like that.

I agree with this but would also add Chuck just because of his power. We need to see Lyoto face a really dangerous striker. Chuck or Wand would be perfect tests. Maybe after Rampage though.
