Machida vs Carvalho and Neiman Gracie vs Ed Ruth from Bellator 213 this weekend are both great fights to watch if you enjoy style vs style matchups.
Machida vs Carvalho is some classic shotokan karate vs kickboxer. Carvalho is both taller, longer reach, and younger than Machida. If you compare it to Machida vs Shogun I, you can really see what different levels of kickboxing looks like.
Neiman Gracie vs Ed Ruth is classic BJJ vs wrestling. Ruth is a three time Division I NCAA champion.
Both fights can easily be found online.
For those who really enjoy Machida's technique, here's some GIFs from the fight:
