Machida by tko late in the 2nd or sometime in the third, cus i know thiago will push the pace and his cardio is suspect.....so i see him pushing to hard against machida and end up running into the same knee that dropped ortiz and then being finished by gnp

i agree this should be the main event. There styles are not that much alike but i was suprised to see that they are the same height. And being that they are both undefeated makes it more interesting. I'm going to take thiago in this one.Fan of both but just a bigger fan of silva he seems like he goes out to get tje job done

can't go against my fav.
Thiago!
just Lidell-Evans (worst main event in UFC history) for September.
Worse than Evans-Bisping? I doubt it. But I see where you gettin at. I dont think Evans should ever be a headliner again, hopefully Liddell will put an end to it.
Also, I'm not sure who will take this fight with Machida and Silva. I'm not much of a Machida fan but I think he has the edge. Although I think anyone who picks him to win by TKO is nuts. Machida isnt going to knockout Silva, he couldnt even finish Ortiz. If he wins he will do it by another drawn out decision. Although Silva has some power so hopefully he can catch him. Either way this will be a great fight!

Dumb, Machida should be next in line to fight Griffin.
Why? Because he is a better and would win.

Thiago will win this. Exposing Machida to be not that great. Thiago will throw stronger punches and will be better on the ground and stronger.
I don't even know what to say about this. Yeah, I'm sure Silva's decent yet wild striking will win over Machida's great jujitsu, excellent counter striking and etreme well-roundedness.
I don't even know what to say about this. Machida and his well roundedness?
How about Machida's great ability to run from every opponent and be satisfied with a bitch decision.
Thiago by brutal ko( if he can catch him ) or possibly Machida by another boring, weak, bitch-like decision( where he does absolutely no damage to his opponent ).
Don't get me wrong there is nothing wrong with winning a decision if your really trying. Machida runs around throwing love taps for three rounds just to eak out a decision from points.

Bet you wont call him that to his face!
anyway i think a better match up would have been Silva Vs Silva it could win headliner over anything ive seen in a while
EDIT: to many Silvas i mean Wand Vs Thiago

I wasn't aware that submitting Sokoudjou with an Arm Triangle constituted being a "bitch decision." hmmmm?
