Lyoto is fighting an undefeated wrestler after replacing a vet for medical reasons...

[Spinjira]

At UFC 98...

It's kind of cool how his first title shot at middleweight lines up with his first light heavyweight title shot.

Both Rashad and Weidman were/are undefeated wrestlers.

Both Rashad and Chris were/are coming off some awesome KO victories.

Machida replaced pride vets Rampage/Vitort for medical reasons.

only one thing can explain....

illuminati

Weidman's not coming off a KO. Don't make me post the picture of the leg.


Also, I expect a similar result. Machida's gonna find Chris' chin.

With all due respect to Lyoto, he's an elite fighter, but I'm not liking his chances vs Chris this soon.

 

[Sopapo]

Weidman and Rashad are not even on the same league when it comes to toughness.
Expect a 5 round war with controversy.

and Hughes vs Serra II as co-main event again

 

[RondaTateCarano**]

Hope Weidman finishes him the same way he got Munoz.

and Hughes vs Serra II as co-main event again

LOL that would be good. At HW.

But how could you possibly know that Weidman is soooo much "tougher" than Rashad?

Before Rashad's match with Machida, would you have made that same claim? And even now, what are you basing it on? Rashad lost by KO exactly once, and that was to Machida. He has never lost via TKO. And he has had a lot more fights against top competition than Weidman.
