Machida vs DC, how would it have gone?

[ReasonableMMAFan]

What if we blooped pre-Shogun Machida into the current UFC LHW roster and made him fight DC?

Pre or post Shogun?

Pre or post Shogun?

DC throws him out of the cage, ring, phonebooth, you name it any version or year motivated and healthy

 

[Kyler Ruxin]

Probably a lot like DC/Anderson.

 

[Leinster Rugby]

You remember DC vs hendo?

Nothing like that.

(far worse)

DC embraces the grind on any version of Machida.

I would have picked DC, but I saw that mma movie where the little kid beats up Kryztof Kozhisnki (?!) and Machida is in that movie.
He says the flying kick is a kick that dentists love, obviously referencing Couture, so I'm picking Machida by that. DC is hittable. He survived Rumble. So Machida via flying kick is my pick

 

[Dogshare]

DC by high kick

 

[RichardWang]

Machida would win by using his sumo to shrug off DC's clinch and TDs. Machida by UD

 

[SassyPants]

I feel like Machida would be dodging and moving most of the fight for a very not so fan friendly snoozefest :/

 

[thobra]

A boring fight, where Machida jumps around like normal, And win a decision.

Machida is a better wrestler and grappler than Henderson.

 

[Lawblaw]

Machida can win this but I see DC holding him against the cage

As long as DC doesn't take a knee or kick to the body, he should be fine.
