As the subject title says. Been a Machida fan for some time now, and I thought Rashad had the best chance to beat him. And we've all seen how that went. So who's gonna be the one to break the streak?

Let people yell at me all they want, but in the division, I think the best one to fight him is Forrest Griffin.
There is nobody right now. He's going to be the champ until end of 2010 at least in my opinion. Nobody else is close. He'll beat on Rampage the EXACT same way he beat on Rashad. I still want to see Rashad vs Evans for the next shot though. Winner of that fight takes Griffen, and then we have Lyoto's first challenger.
If Shogun regains his old form... Shogun. other than that... nobody i can think of not named anderson silva or fedor emelianenko really seems likely to be able to beat him for a while.
f*ck, i can barely think of anybody who will be able to even hit him, let alone beat him.

I agree with Jak and after tonights performance Im thinking Lyoto actually has the best shot to beat Fedor. I honestly mean that. I mean Fedor has to catch this guy first and who has done that. Lyoto is flawless.

I definetly agree with you bro. Nobody will be able to beat him, not with the LHW roster they have now.

I think he meant Rashad vs. Rampage.
Rashad just lost why would he go fight Rampage who is winning makes no sense IMO
Rashad needs to fight another fighter with a loss
Machida vs Rasmpage would be a joke I think Rampage would get tko raped even though I would want him to win.
MAchida vs Rua- Rua needs to get back in shape and he still has a short time to go and still grow

Fedor.

+1... what are fedor lovers going to say... nobody can even hit this guy right now. at the very least it would be more anticipated then Lesnar/Fedor.

This can go both ways lol. Machida is Fedor's best challenge. Remember that one stat? Fedor absorbs less strikes (per minute) than Machida does while staying aggressive consistantly. That says something

machida will be here for a long time, the era of machida! nice call joe!
he will dominate and go after brock like he said he wanted to. imo.

I wonder if Machida would risk fighting Brock while still undefeated? Machida is clearly the better fighter, but just because a Ferrari is a better car than a Chevy Suburban doesn't mean you would want to take a Ferrari into a demolition derby against one. It would be fun as hell to see Lesnar going ape from the frustration of trying to nail down Machida, though.

lol Machida just won you guys need to let him win more if he does win more. He still needs to defend the belt to be legit. To many people are getting overexcited.

Well, who's he going to defend the belt against? Is Rampage first in line, since Machida stepped in to face Rashad when Rampage was injured?
