A chutebox pro toge like Thiago or Wandy Silva or Shogun since relentless aggression with good skills on the feet and ground haven't proved not to be his weakness yet.
Or an extremely well rounded guy like Rampage with a great camp that makes good gameplans for him. Machida wouldn't be able to do anything except out point him. I think Rampage is the man who will beat him personally.
But I think Anderson Silva is the man I'm most confident in.

If he stays at 205, Anderson Silva has what it takes to give EVERYONE problems.

Rashad Evans
i am really curious as to why rashad?
Will it be his striking? Or his wrestling?
Just his unorthodox approach to everything.

I think Wanderlei, because he will just keep pressing the action and catch machida with some vicious shots
Agree 100%. We have talked about this topic on here before. Wand is not afraid to get hit coming in, and has the endurance to chase Machida around until he can clinch with him and knock him out.
You put a lot of emphasis on Wandy being able to control Machida and getting him where he wants him. The truth is, Wandy will not be able to take Machida down, and if he does, he'll have incredible difficulties pounding him out. Wandy also won't be able to stand toe to toe with Machida because Machida will have none of it, Machida is too good at evasion, and Wandy isn't a technical enough striker to figure out how to deal with the elusiveness. The only way Wandy would win this match is if he quickly closed the distance with Machida and managed to lock in a clinch for some dirty boxing, or some devastating muay thai for a TKO. Otherwise, Machida would carry this to a UD, in his favor.

Aggressive fighters who aren't horrible strikers, Tito was far too sluggish and telegraphed to even have a chance of hurting him. Rampage, Shogun and Wanderlei make a good trinity for beating Machida.
I should point out at this point, I'm not totally sold on Machida thus far.
