Mauricio Shogun Rua picks Lyoto Machida to beat Rashad Evans; Open to fight against f
Quoteworthy:
“It’s going to be a hard fight [between UFC Light Heavyweight Champion Rashad Evans and Lyoto Machida]. Lyoto is a man who gets to make a game tough to be reproduced for any sparring, while Rashad is very strategic. Both are very technical and competent but I root for Lyoto. I would say it is 60% to 40%. I cannot see any gap (or hole) in Lyoto’s game. He is athletic and very good in all. We know one another well, we’re friends and I wouldn’t like to fight him. However, it can happen. I don’t choose opponent. It is up to the UFC.”
Mauricio Shogun Rua weighs in on the upcoming clash between current 205-pound champion Rashad Evans and number one contender, Lyoto Machida, at UFC 98: “Evans vs. Machida” at the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas, Nevada, on May 23, giving “The Dragon” a slight edge. Rua, of course, has a vested interest in the outcome of the championship match — he could very well earn consideration with another win or two. He most recently stopped former light heavyweight champion Chuck Liddell via first round technical knockout at UFC 97: “Redemption” last month. And he now has his sights set on possible rematches against two other former champions, Forrest Griffin and Quinton “Rampage” Jackson; however, he could have to wait awhile for either of those two because they are scheduled to fight later this year. Regardless, it’s good to hear that Rua is open to a match against Machida … but will it ever happen?

lol, no shit. 
I like Shogun a lot though, really looking forward to seeing how he continues his UFC career. Rematches with Forrest and Rampage would both be awesome.

They always pull this, hell Arona picked Wanderlei to beat Rampage and Arona would bang Wanderlei's daughter just to get back at him.

I think this is one of the few times I want to see the Brazilian lose. I just don't like Machida, I want him to lose. Do I think he will? Nope.

Shogun should fight Cane. It's a perfect match. Both are top 10. Forrest is fighting Spider and Rampage is getting a title shot. Shogun isnt close to Rampages realm right now. He needs to beat a worthy YOUNG contender.
