VS.

Next Saturday May 23rd at MGM Grand Garden Arena in Nevada the UFC Light Heavy Weight Title will be disputed on the octagon by Rashad ”Suga” Evans and Lyoto ”The Dragon” Machida. Both fighters show great conditions to take the title home, let’s check them out

Rashad ”Suga” Evans, age 29 born at Niagara Falls, New York, USA but fighting out of Albuquerque, New Mexico holds a record of 18-0-1. The only draw in his MMA career was against Tito Ortiz and he has practically destroyed the rest of his adversaries, he won’t go down easily and his strenghts are Takedowns and Takedown Defense, he was also an All-American wrestler when he was in college.

Lyoto ”The Dragon” Machida age 30 born in Salvador, Brazil and fighting out of Belem, Brazil holds a record of 14-0-0 with an impressive win over Tito Ortiz. He’s a Shotokan Karate Brazilian Champ, Brazilian Jiu Jitsu Champ, and he has made all his adversaries look terrible, even weak and that in a weight class like this says a lot about a fighter, he is recognized already as a rising star at MMA and he is considered by his piers as an amazing fighter.

The prediction won’t be easy but I feel the half japanese-half brazilian Machida will be the winner by Knock out since he has the advantage of a devastating kick.

Matt Hughes 43-7-0 Vs. Matt Serra 16-5-0
