Lyoto Machida vs Kazuhiro Nakamura at UFC 76

Ufcjunkie.com has this posted. man im psyched for this fight i really hope nakamura takes it to lyoto, and i also hope we get to see it live

Just looked at ufc.com and they have this fight on the main card ruthless!

man this fight is gonna be bad ass

Nakamura is definitely a guy i wanted to see. They are starting to aquire some real depth in all their weightclasses. I am sick of seeing some of the mid to lower level fighters. I hope they get dropped down to the wec and we start seeing the pride aquisition to add some depth to the UFC.

This is great news! Nakamura is one of the best Japanese fighters. He brings it to every fight he's in. I think Lyoto is going to get out hustled on this. Nakamura by decision.

Nakamura will actually be able to beat Lyoto and end his evil reign of karate terror.

This fight is going to be awesome!

cant wait to see this fight. in the ufc id like to see nak at a lighter weight class though. cant complain though.

Glad he signed. Also, I don't remember him ever fighting below 205. I know he fought above his weight, but can't remember him fighting below i t.

nakamura can handle everything machida throws at him, i think he grinds out a decision

ahhhh... It's so damn hard to pick... I love both these fighters... Great matchmaking by Silva

50% for each other
but i pick machida

Definitely an awesome fight, and a very intriguing match up. Nakamura can definitely take this one, his standup style can totally stalemate Machida's if he doesn't get frusrated by how evasive the guy is. And if he manages to manuver Machida into bad position where can put him against the cage and use his slight edge in grappling skill to put the fight on the ground, he could very well manage a decision win. But Machida is VERY wily, and don't really feel comfortable with betting against him on a match that's this close. For me this is a pick 'em fight and with Machida's career momentum and toolset I still have him pulling out a decision or a last half of fight TKO.

Nakamura is gonna gonna take the entire fight to "Ryoto". Only way Kazuhiro Nakumura loses is if Machida lands a bomb counter.

Kuzahiro has a good chin though, it will need to be a proper cannon of a shot if its gonna put him out. Personally I think Nakamura has got this one, he is a total power house, I expect to see him just push Machida into the cage and then proceed to pummel it out of him.

Nakamura by 3rd round tko.

I think it's UD either way, but I'll take Machida.

I can not wait for this fight. This fight will put Machida in the 10 ten for sure if he can get past Nakamura, which I think he will. Machida is a powerhouse, this fight will be a war!

I see Lyoto effectively countering Nakamura's aggression and getting the decision here. Machida will display his slick counter-punching here. I see Nakamura getting picked apart for 3 rounds.
